I can blog from my Blackberry now. How cool is that?

Cordova life

I’m here at 524 Third Avenue, living with my bride, Martha and we are trying to find ways to purchase this house. I mean there are more than one way, but working with a mortgage company in Anchorage means that I have to show more income than what was happening in the past two, three years. The potential is so good here with a large basement to install a studio for heavy sculptures and such. And the Anchorage properties are so much more costly to maintain and do upkeep. Well, I’d better not go into too much detail here before starting up on new posts within this area.

Martha and I and son, William, went to Nome and Wales to attend the Wales’ 12th Annual Dance Festival. It was held on September 2, 3 and 4th. We also spread Cate’s ashes both in

Paper filing

Hi:
I’ve been busy rounding up Catherine’s paper piles and filing them into plastic file boxes and containers the past couple of weeks. And I did my own piles as well. Jodi told me that it would get worse before it got better! And she was right. I had to make return trips to the office supply store about five times. And picking up other neat gadgets as I went through their aisles.

And putting them into files don’t necessarily make understandable what’s been put away. It merely makes up many, many more categories and those have been categorized in other places as well. Cate had been piling stuff up for the past couple of years thinking that she would eventually get to them. Well, she sadly has passed away on December 18th, 2010…

A sad, sad day for me. Will, my son, and I escaped to Homer a couple of times during Christmas and New Years, first staying at the Land’s End Hotel and then moving to Best Western. We would eat at Ron and Turid’s house just about every evening. And we stopped by at our favorite lunch and book store at Soldotna on the way to and fro.

At least I now have a better idea as to where some of the tax records are. Didn’t have a clue before the filing.

Need to post!

The long drawn out vacuum of no words is thumping on my soul. Need to post! That goes on forever until there is indeed a need. What to post? Well, we are just sending Violet (our oldest granddaughter) and Jenny (daughter) their very late birthday cards and a little money thrown into the note and card. Their birthdays are July 29 and July 20. July 20 was when Catherine had her fateful spine surgery. Two rods implanted onto the external ridges of the vertebrae with connectors and screws. L1 was completely eaten up by cancer and so the small remainder of that was taken out by the neurosurgeon, Dr. Kim Wright. We saw him a few days ago and he is saying that Cate will have to be on her body brace for another three months. She is getting around fairly well nowadays. But is very skinny.

Latest new computer

This is a new HP mini-desktop. With Windows 7 and oodles of disk space. The HP laptop ran out of space. Someone asked me if I had an external hard drive (which to them is insurance from running out of space) and I answered “Yes, I do.” But it had so many programs that would be hard to always have to take out of the hard disk… Or can one go online from them? Anyway they’re there and I’m here.

I tell myself that I will get industrious enough one of these days to start adding photos and video to this blog. Not yet. If you want to see someone with a lot of industriousness try Googling “What do I Know.” Steve is a good friend of ours and he and his wife, Joan, travel the world and he blogs. And does photos and downloads videos (of his own and others downloaded from the web).

Extra cost Windows programs (or any other web appK)

I am leaping by faith in the ability of the web sites to deliver what I need for completing needed files for my computer. Lately I had to get a compression kit just to be able to do this blog.

Next I have looked through the Windows programs to see just exactly what One Note does. The only way to find out I see is to add it on! Because the bare bones app which was once a trial is not going to allow me to do its tricks after clicking on it and the box says “Sorry, Trial over and now you have to figure out a way to see what you missed!”

Katchina Crossing the Bering Straits No. 3

Last evening, Erin Cooper and her husband Sean visited and picked up Katchina Crossing the Bering Straits No. 3. She had paid for it months ago when she last visited Anchorage from Cordova.

I’ve been trying to update the Windows XP on my mac for a couple of weeks now. (They put a reminder on the toolbar everyday that it needs updating. I can now remember the error code by heart now: 0x700800B). And the web pages are filled with ways to kill this error code. I fell for a couple of them — no regrets though — the apps are good for other things too.

Catherine is still in a lot of pain. Our house is a mess and we eat out a lot. My left foot is still swollen but slowly, SLOOOOOWLY!, is getting back to normal, if having metal and screws in your leg is normal.

I am slowly edging up to learning how to upload pictures to this. Yesterday I learned how to downsize all my iphoto pics so they could easily be attached to this and that.

Weird. Time is slipping by and I have forgotten how to get into my own blog site. (I wanted to add it to my various desktops so that I can more easily accews it) I have been leaving little notes here and there as I enabled various applications and websites. From here on, I need to be more dilligent and more enabled myself!

Catherine will see her Principal to get paperwork done for her extended leave situation from work. She has been in a lot of pain. (More than anybody I have witnessed so far — laid out on bed for a month or so.) Her L1 is fractured is what she learned from an X-ray ordered by Rick Abbott.

Hi: We are here at Catherine’s folks’ house since Saturday. We flew from Anchorage to Seattle on Friday, June 29th and stayed at a near-the-airport Radisson Hotel. The hotel room was very middle f the road, and adequate for our purposes of an over-night rest there..

We were sleepless in Seattle (Ha!) due to our underworked leg muscles cramping up in the night due to lugging our heavy packs (we decided to not check in our bags).

Chris has put me on his network since last night. Much faster than the unsecure neighborhood stuff.

We are here for the memorial services of Grace Hamilton Coffin, Cate’s mother. I’m reading one of the Psalms selections at this afternoons services. Saturday we had Grace’s graveside burial ceremony.

Catherine is struggling with her statement for this afternoon’s service. Last night we were joined by Jenny Carter and Jeff Hamilton, Grace’s niece and nephew by her brother’s, Frank’s first marriage to Betty Carter, I’m not totally sure about Jenny’s last name here. Donna, Chris’s wife, prepared lamb shanks and Catherine made the salad.

Yesterday I got a haircut at Toni’s and Guys at Fashion Island. A sixty dollar haircut, still under What’s-his-name’s (Democratic Presidential candidate last summer) famous (or infamous) six hundred dollar treatment.
