Back online

Today, I am officially back in the 21st century -- John and Jeff worked hard this morning to set up a new router, and tonight, I have wireless internet again. How quickly we get addicted to our new toys: wireless laptops and Treos with email and various and sundry other gadgets.

Tonight we went to a University of Michigan Entertainment Coalition happy hour. Even with only a week's notice, we had about 20 people turn up and that was really encouraging on a hot night in the traditionally slow summertime.

Then we walked home and it was sweltering. I'd been fooled into thinking the evening was really cooling off, because the happy hour was on a roof deck with a really pleasant breeze. Down on the street level, though, it was still h-o-t. What a kooky experience to just be drenched and swampy walking home through Central Park after dark.

Now John's on his computer, I'm on mine, and we're just two nerds enjoying our spacious 695 square foot estate.
