CPR – Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks

 CPR – Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks

I haven’t taken a CPR course in 40+ years. I was feeling a little rusty (in more ways than one!). Last time, my employer paid for the class, which was offered to company employees.

Happy Kidney Day!

It’s been a whole year since I kissed David goodbye and watched him disappear behind the OR doors at Wake Forest Hospital. David’s living donor kidney donation to Burger seems like a century ago.

Too Much Basil

Just a Little Further

Hi there and welcome to Just A Little Further!

We are David and Marcie Lynn and we've lived aboard our Liberty 458 cutter-rigged sailboat since 2000.

What began as an urge to travel slowly and economically at our own pace ended up an adventure of a lifetime.  

Well, here we are ... nearly 90,000 miles under the keel, 5 continents, 5 Great Southern Capes, 36 countries and almost two decades later, still taking one passage at a time and going just a little further.
