We’re back home.
I’m in the throes of a two-way withdrawal: 1) I didn’t get to write anything all weekend and 2) I didn’t get to read anything all weekend. For me, the latter has been way worse than the former, so give me a few minutes to get Alex down for a nap, catch up on my reading, and transfer all our pictures to the computer. Hopefully by then I’ll have something coherent to say.
And just one more thing. If you’re still hanging on to a dial-up modem because you think it doesn’t make good sense for you to spend extra money on DSL or cable because you’re not on the internet all that much? FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT’S HOLY AND FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR RELATIVES’ SANITY, get rid of the dial-up and join us, won’t you, in the 21st century. It’s lovely here.
I got tickled yesterday when I looked in Mama and Daddy’s den and saw David and Barry with their laptops open, no doubt offering prayers to God that He would somehow mercifully intercede and miraculously create a wireless connection. They even called around town to look for wi-fi hotspots, but apparently Meridian isn’t on board with that yet. I told Barry that we could ride around with our laptops on and see if we could jack someone else’s connection, but I guess that wouldn’t have been very “ethical” or “appropriate,” not to mention “legal.”
We had a great time – but it is nice to be back in the land of the high-speed wireless connection.
More updates soon.
So glad you’re back. I can’t wait to hear about it. I also hope you are watching the thing on Food Network where they pick the next big celebrity. We watched it last night and loved it (maybe T more than I did).
Our trip to Mdn was great last week. Wilco was really good; Pat was so happy! We got to talk with him (and with Danielle) and Weidmann’s was packed with people afterwards to meet the band. Oh, if it were like that more often in the Queen City!
Glad you’re back.
Liz – I typed a comment earlier but I guess I forgot to hit “publish.” Anyway, Wilco came up SEVERAL times in conversations over the weekend…mostly because Mama, Daddy, Joe, etc. seemed to watch every single news story leading up to the concert, and they wanted to know what, if anything, I knew about this band they call Wilco. And re: the Food Network show, we Tivo’d it, and I imagine it’ll be first in our nightly viewing line-up tonight. I’ll let you know what I think….
i’m reading your back issues :)
i am still on dial up! i would love to join you fast trackers but i live in the country! it is not available for me yet. so yes, it is taking me like 3 hours to read blogs.
