Sorry all y’all, but my 80-year-old mother was doing terrible and so I made an emergency trip to Punta Gorda last Wednesday and just got back. I left my laptop because they do not have the internet in their little neck of the woods.
Last word health-wise as she is doing better, but my back is killing me up to my waste in the Gulf of Mexico in 77 degree heat while surf fishing. Tonight I was in shorts and sandals as I flew into Minneapolis St. Paul where they had about a half-foot of snow. Then here in Vegas where it is 43. Had to turn on the heat.

Welcome back. Hope your Mother keeps improving health-wise.
If I’d known you were in Punta Gorda last week, I’d have made a special trip over there. I was in South Florida in Delray Beach at the time.

Two words, Cap: Wireless modem.
Sprint makes the best. Verizon’s good in a pinch. Under no circumstances whatsoever use AT&T’s for this purpose. Their wireless network sucks. (For data purposes, anyway – the wireless voice network does okay.)
In fact, this comment was entered using a wireless modem. (Being a professional geekizoid is pretty damn cool. 🙂 )
