Broadband Access

I'm happy to report that I'm posting this entry from my bedroom. This in itself isn't remarkable, but the fact that the bedroom is the farthest room in the cottage from the landlord and landlady's wi-fi and that I actually have internet access is remarkable! My Verizon broadband connection works like a charm.

Today I received several packages. I've ordered a few things to prepare for the trip Laurie and I are taking in January to visit her daughter Shayla in Ghana, Africa. At 21, Shayla has already seen and done more than either her mom or I have done up to this point. She is majoring in journalism and I have no question that she'll be a success.

Constant rain all day today. I was only out 45 minutes to run some errands, but I was so happy to get back into my warm, dry home. There's nothing that makes you appreciate comfort more than misery. My heart goes out to all those who aren't as fortunate as I.
