Today's Reading: Uttermost Part of the Earth by E. Lucas Bridges

Today's Starting Pitcher:
Jeff Fassero

So much for the idea that I don't live online. It's just that I live in somebody else's online existence. Or something.

Last night I came home to a phone message from Zsolt that he once again can't get his email off of large popular email provider. No, this time it is not JPEGs of his mother filling up his disk quota. This time he switched his phone, cable, and Internet service to a large popular cable provider. So I spent today sorting out fact from fiction in what the cable provider told him, services he didn't know he'd bought, changes the large popular email provider instituted without telling their customers... you get the idea. Also got his new digital camera communicating with the PC but not the laptop (not enough slots). I am tired.

I have lots of phone messages and it is too late to return them.

My eyes itch and my nose is running. Again. The pollen count is in the thousands and then some. Sigh.

Three hours of web surfing does not seem like a good idea, so I guess I will have to postpone joining the ranks of the hard-core bloggers until another day.

And so to bed with Wilbur, Uttermost Part of the Earth, and the slowly fading book light.
