I'm leaving soon to go to my dad's for the weekend. At some point, I'm not exactly sure when, I made the transition from saying "going to my folks'," to "going to my dad's." Is that a good thing? It feels too soon. There's no longer Internet at the home of my youth....nah, that's a little wordy. Dad doesn't even use the computer so it's silly to pay $30 a month for something that will probably only get used a few days out of the month when children and grandchildren visit. Mom embraced the new technology of the computer and the Internet, although, she confessed she didn't understand the hype of Facebook and Twitter. Quite frankly I agree w/ her. Email, however, was a forum that she enjoyed b/c it allowed her to stay in closer contact w/ friends and family, near and far. I miss her emails, even the ones that were just forwards b/c even they gave me some insight into what she was doing and thinking that day. I still find myself wanting to forward something on to her....don't think I'll ever delete her email account.

I'll try tomorrow to pick up a rogue wireless signal on my laptop. Even if there's no blog post published on the 16th, I'll being writing my journal entry the old fashioned way........typing into a Word document and then copying it here!!
