Just Practicing

I know, I haven't been around. I haven't posted, I haven't been reading, I haven't been commenting. Truth is, I'm practicing. Well, not intentionally. Actually the one working computer we have in this house was taken over by the Romans. Well, a project on the Romans anyway. But in all actuality, not having access to a computer at home for much of the last week is really just a practice run for this summer. You see, in a week, I will no longer have a home computer. In fact, in a week, I will have no computer at all. For the summer.

My computer died several months ago. I had problems with it that I was going to get fixed until the power jack quit working for the second time and I declared that no more money was going into that stinkin thing. So it sits. Dead. On my hope chest. But it's hopeless.

And in a week, LM will be off to PA (and TN, too) and I won't see him or his ever-working despite being ancient computer until the end of the summer.

So, my dear Inter Nets, this is me, posting for about the last time in awhile. And while there is a part of me that is already starting to twitch at the very thought of not having daily access to email, I have to say, that I've been thinking a lot about how impersonal my life has gotten with the aid of technology and this summer challenges me to actually use the PHONE or to visit people IN PERSON which are radical concepts if you are anyone besides my sister.

Before I go, however, I have a few posts to get caught up on. With that, read on.
