No Matter, There

OK, so I’m off in the woods of Maine with my family and our internet access is a phone line whose connection is so poor it can’t even top 26K! Eldest son has been writing and editing and resolutely slogging through using his publisher’s project collaboration site to submit his work, youngest son has been missing Club Penguin, and I have been unable to keep up with my online reading.

We’ve managed to cope, what with wonderful scenery, week-long visits from grandparents, daytrips to shopping meccas (the Maine Mall in Portland), the release of the Harry Potter movie and book, bringing home fish for a sushi-making session which everyone partook in…

But still, we did find that we needed to feed the internet demon (it was the only way to book airline flights, and other necessities–the phone line just wasn’t cutting it, honest!) and took a trip into Boothbay Harbor. There, the public library has a T1 line and wireless access 24/7, even when they are not open! Plus, the nearby wireless Cafe really knows how to create a fine cup of brew! Here I am, flanked by Nathan and Corwin (he’s got his dad’s laptop), at the counter of the Moose Head Cafe.

I’ll drop back off the network in a little while. Honest. We’ll go mackeral fishing off the pier. Just let the tide come in a little bit more…
