Welcome back, penni. Did you have a great time? My computer pooped out again this morning, too. It's a pain. Soon will be Linux, but I think I need to go get a CD to install it. Sucker wouldn't come up again this morning. It doesn't have a VKD it says. I finally went into the set-up and changed some things. I'm not sure what but it wasn't working so I figured it couldn't hurt. Then it came up. Friggin' Windows.

How wonderful that you are back. I missed you. But I hope you had fun.

A hale and hearty hello Ms. Rambi. I believe your computer was merely vociferating a protest on behalf of the Web at your protracted absence. You mean to say that there was no online service on the boat?? I mean, what's eight dollars a minute or so to a true afishianado? No option quotes? No snappy rejoinders to online inanities? Are you breathing deeply again? Thomas was off to Santa Fe last week, taking in something of a surplus of Frederick Remington in the local galleries and clambering up mountains to the tune of about eight thousand feet. Quite a lovely little town, if on occasion missing the slightest tinge of earthiness despite the whole place being done up in (largely ersatz) adobe. And houses surprisingly priced at near SF's astronomical levels. Most of the buyers of the big stuff are retirees it seems, and the highest paying jobs are for waiters in snooty noveau-Southwestern restaurants. I come to find that native Santa Fe'ers tend to despise Texans and Californians as those two states have been the wellspring of the flood of 80's and 90's parvenues responsible for jacking up housing prices respectively.
