Jan 8th 2021	Finally, we have our new President recognized as well as replacing both Georgia senators with Democrats!  Unfortunately, we have to face the incredible scenes in the Capitol.  Democracy in the US is forever changed. Needed to have a cortisone injection to help the pain in the finger.  Now all seems fine.
Feb 9th 2021	Quite a few changes in the vacation sections; added pictures of trips in Connecticut, New York and Delaware, as well as sprucing up many of the other sections.
Feb 25th 2022	A year since the last post.  I must maintain this more often.  A very quiet year due to Covid, with travel much reduced, unfortunately.
Mar 3rd 2024	Over two years since my last post here.  Lots has happened including two doses of Covid, just once for Deborah.  A whole series of trigger finger release  surgeries as well as Carpal Tunnel release surgery in both wrists, and removal of a cyst in my left middle finger!  Almost every finger, and thumb, treated for trigger finger.  Writing this on the new desktop that has finally replaced my old Dell that I have had for over 10 years!  It is an Alienware R16, and it is noticably faster!  I did stick with 32 gigabytes of RAM, but now have a total of 9 terabytes of disk including my backup drive.  Hope this will last for another ten years.  Also have a new laptop for travelling.  I kept it to a 15.6 inch screen for portability.  Deborah has a new laptop too but with a larger 17.3 inch screen.  Both Dell and both working very nicely.
Oct 27th 2024	Added a raft of new pictures mainly from our Alaska cruises, though many of them are from Victoria, British Columbia.  This is usually the last port on the itinerary so I include it in the Alaska cruise section.  Yet another trigger finger; left pinky.   Had a cortizone shot just over a year ago so hope for another one as we are so busy it would be hard to fit in a surgery.  Maybe next year for that.  Our lovely old Infiniti is closing in on 100,000 miles!  Had it checked over with no issues!  Apart from routine servicing, tires (it eats them!), a new battery and brakes the only issue we have had was a wheel bearing.  If they still made this model we would get another one like a shot, but the replacement is a rather bland design with a 4 cylinder engine.  I cannot bring myself to pay upwards of $60,000 or $70,000 dollars for something with a four cylinder engine.  Just goes against the grain.  So we plan to keep it for a few more years until something appealing comes along, hopefully an electric with at least a 400 to 500 mile range.
