Success!!!

Dear readers...  Success (with the Internet)...  Charles from the phone company was here this morning, and figured out the issue pretty quickly, and presto-changeo, it's resolved.  (Much IT nonsense, but it's done.)  I am so relieved.  Of course, all the coffee houses in the area will now suffer a dramatic decrease in their revenue (since I won't be hanging out there, ordering lattes and iced tea blend drinks so I can use their free WiFi), but that's all to the good.  I felt at sea... ridiculous, I know, but in this age of 24x7 access, it's the way it is.

OK, running out now to grab lunch, but will be back with more meandering thoughts later.

Cheers!
