Woo Hoo! Our internet connection is back up and running. See, our ISP turned off the old DNS numbers last friday and we still had some lurking in the system which were conflicting with the new numbers we also had in the system. Simple really - but something that also allowed us to step back for a bit and get a fresh perspective on online activities. Nothing by accident, eh? LOL. Anyway - it feels GREAT to be connected again. Thanks for hanging in there - heh heh.

Life is really weird sometimes - leading you places that you try to define or understand, often unsuccessfully. You show up, you walk through it, and you look at it in the rear view mirror and just shrug. Sometimes you have friends to exchange bemused glances with. Most of it isn't as important as you think it's supposed to be, and most of it doesn't do what you grow up thinking it should. Do things just not work or is there an alternate system at play? And is that alternate system as simple as you think it might be? At the moment I have no answers and seemingly no way to concoct or obtain any - trying not to be too uncomfortable with that - I hope I'm successful.

[bad internet connection = interim posting for now]

Story of the Bizarre. This evening, John, Tom, and I went out to dinner with our friend Jill. We had a lively conversation touching on many weird but fun topics which included: the various versions of the Monopoly game, bikini waxes (don't ask - LOL), the Necronomicon, and wolves and cougars/panthers living in the wild. Later, John, Tom, and I are back at our house and we're in the middle of watching a new Simpsons episode right now - only halfway through - and ALL OF THOSE THINGS have been mentioned already - NOT kidding. We're looking at each other in a "Simpsons Episode: Bart's Comet" - "I know kids, I'm scared too." kinda way.
