My apologies for the radio silence over the last several days. I’ve been without internet service here at Casa Blather and have had to run to Starbucks periodically just to send and receive email.

The outage has been hard on everyone here–especially the teen folk. It’s been a little like this snippet from a Southpark episode (note: contains some typical Southpark crudity).

It’s been pretty grim. I actually had to resort to using paper yellow pages yesterday. A repair technician is scheduled to arrive today between 11a and 1p.

May his gifted hand and healing arts restore the life-giving flow of ones and zeros to this wretched, byte-starved clan. Amen.
