Checking In

For those who do not know by now: I have successfully joined the 21st century! Well, aside from the fact that I don't have internet access at home because I don't have the required software in a form compatible with Windows 7. So the 5-10 days I wait for that gives me more time to clean up my room, adjust to Windows 7, play with POV-Ray, and watch DVDs now that I have a DVD player. So far I've borrowed Witness for the Prosecution, The Maltese Falcon, and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

Yes, apparently my first response to being dragged into the 21st century is to watch black & white movies. Who knew?

Anyway, I'm still alive, still kicking, having fun with the new tech, and missing you all. Here's hoping I get back to you soon!

Thank you! Still waiting, but I've got borrowed Bogart movies keeping me company at home. :-)

Impressive! Joining the 21st century apparently means having the ability to leap forward in time. Can you make it February for me, too? :D

The library computers are the time travelers. For some reason, the one I'm on now thinks today's February 7. Oh, and it's 10:40 a.m.

How're you doing, Jen?

All is good! Kids are very busy as usual. Let's see--today (Friday), Emily is staying after school to decorate a hallway & watch the varsity basketball game; Bryan is staying after school to perform in the pep band at his school's varsity basketball game; and Katie's got drama auditions after school. Then Emily and Katie have all-day volleyball tournaments on Saturday, and Bryan has a Latin competition near Baltimore all day on Saturday. Then on Sunday, the girls have volleyball practices (different times, of course). So I'm generally busy keeping track of the kids, but I love every moment of it. I really love being with them. :)

Thank you! Still no access at home, so I have no idea what's going on in the world. I hope you're doing well!

Thank you! Connection's not quite there yet, but the computer's fun to play with. :-)
