Okay, patient people. With some luck your patience might soon pay off and I’ll be back to regular blogging. Friday, I’m scheduled — for the second time — to get Internet at home. <\/p>\n
That’s the good news. The bad news is … it’s via Comcast. And opinions on Comcast<\/a> (oh, thank you, G.W.F.) are so very cheery<\/i>. However, Comcast was my only alternative. So there it is.
