Still in Florida update
What a day I’ve had so far. Would you like me to tell you about my day? Of course you would. I’ve been to three places in town trying to find a wireless connection that works. My reliable Denny’s turned out to be no longer reliable. They assured me that their connection was working (though I saw no one in the place on a computer) but it was completely out — it didn’t even appear in my wireless ap screen. So after nibbling at the breakfast I turned out to have no appetite for, I took off to the Panera near my home. But their wireless sucks — I couldn’t get any websites to open.
By the way, the reason I was so frantic to get on the internet this morning wasn’t so I could read blogs, download Doctor Who pics, and write this entry — I really do have certain things I have to take care of via the internet that aren’t frivolous.
So, it was off to the farther-away Panera where the wireless is usually reliable. And it was, so I was able to transact my business. Unfortunately it took me so long to accomplish that I have used up all my battery time and I didn’t bring my cord (it makes a bundle almost as big as the computer and I usually don’t bother), so I won’t have time right now to play around. Maybe I’ll come back later, if I have time (I’m going to try to pack the car today).
Gotta go.

We have reservations to spend 2 nights and one day in Damascus the weekend of September 18-20. How far is Staunton?
Plus or minus about 5000 mi.
That really wasn’t very clear, was it? It’s Damascus, VIRGINIA we plan to visit.
Thanks, erp617, I appreciate the help. Durh!
That was supposed to be a joke.
Who knows, Andrea MIGHT be interested in the OTHER (much less fun, much further away) Damascus…and I think SHE has a passport, which I don’t anymore.
No offense taken here, erp – and I DID laugh when I saw how it read! I haven’t felt a lot like laughing lately, so it was a welcome respite.
According to Google maps it’s 216 miles. Now I don’t know if I’ll still be in Staunton by September, but I do plan to look for work “in the area” so I might be not too far away. Of course I’ll keep everyone posted.
