views from the pool

Claritan is a wonderful thing, I’m feeling much better when I take one in the morning. I still go down first thing and dive in the pool and then float and look at my garden, it’s as good as the coffee that follows. I got out and got the camera this morning and [...]

something’s missing

I’ve been joining forums for so many years I can’t remember how long. It started with old BBS and one of those incredibly slow modems. Then, sometime in the late 1980’s I found The Well and that was my biggest intro to online forums. It had a really complex command line interface [...]
