My youngest brother died September 21, 2015, and I ended up with his laptop, where I now spend most of my computer time.  Xp is no longer supported by my anti-virus program, so I try to stay offline with this old hamster-wheel desktop.  Rather than making the transition, I just let things lie fallow for a while.

I am somewhat discombobulated by the speed with which I seem to have run out of years, if not trips, or details, way last summer.  I don’t know if there is a way to insert posts between previous ones, so additional information and trips are just tacked on and old posts updated or adjusted.  And then, there have been a lot of (unnecessary) changes on WordPress, which I haven’t spent enough time with to navigate comfortably.

I have been on a cleaning frenzy at home, having lost my access to two storage spaces where Steve and I had a lot of things packed away.  Now that I have emptied those out and gotten rid of most everything stored there I have continued to clear out my studio.  I am sorting through old photographs and lists of places we traveled, so I plan to get back to fine-tuning past trips.

Realizing that every edit causes an update for my followers, I am archiving information offline and only posting or updating after extensive rewriting.
