don’t ever ever ever leave mobile phone on desk at work.

an unattended mobile phone ringing seems to set these folks on edge almost to the point of violence…!

my colleagues in the states kind of take this with a resigned humor but these folks here get very twitchy and irritated to various degrees.

[—] found $40 at HEB.
The cashier gave him stickers. No reward.

[—] was sad.

Then he found $100 in an old wallet (mine).

He got to keep it (the money; he didn’t want the wallet)! 

Yay that made up for it! God takes care of us.

my family and i’ve been wired to the ‘net since ’94 when it became available to the publlc.

this adventure (and it’s a very postive one) would not have been possible without the use of the internet.

makes me wonder what my own kids will be doing 20 years from now…?

i’ve learned that a wool scarf, when properly laundered and dried at medium heat, turns to a firm mass of mush. he’s gone out to pasture now. it got stuck in the laundry by mistake.

i feel quite like tom hanks’ character in the movie, “castaway*” , where he’s watching poor wilson floating away and he’s shouting “wilson! wil-SONNNN!” i liked that scarf.

hmmm… i wonder if i should take my wool full-length coat out of the wash now?

howdy all

if you’ve been comparing dates on postings you’ll notice it’s been awhile since the last post.

thankfully it’s not because of lack of internet access — it’s because of the relative abundance of it this week…

yes, i finally have broadband at the flat! i did the happy dance for a long time when i verified it actually worked. so this week i’ve been catching up on past-due internet stuff. this weekend i hope to post some stuff here.

lots of research going on so i’ll post things here as they come up. hopefully you all can learn from my experiences here!
