Ground Control to Major Tom

We're experiencing technical difficulties here with spotty ISP coverage through next week - fingers crossed.

Get this, we've been paying for the Ultra-Premium, Very Especially High Velocity, So Fast You'll think You've Gone Nuclear Internet Package, but what we've got is the I'm Going Through A Tunnel, Can You Hear Me Now? How About Now? (But In No Way Affiliated With Those Cell Phone People) Package.

Lightning fast speeds of 1000 kbps, pings of 170 mbps - Whuh? But usually, mostly no internet at all. (They tell us we should be getting 6 or 7000) And what are computers for if you cannot instantly access any number of things you might desire, or follow your peeps, or blog-read, or you-tube video watch, or house-hunt (goodness there are a lot of bargains out there), or, or, or.....

Somehow balancing the checkbook in Quickbooks is not quite the same thing (especially when you cannot download anything from your bank).

The last thing I'm going to say, before the internet access completely goes AWOL, is this -

Something very super wonderful has happened for my kids (and me) and we are so excited we can hardly contain it! Also, there are some absolutely lovely people out there, and to you we say THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH!!! Also, there will be much picture taking involved.
