Making progress

I still can't believe I was able to make a post via my BlackBerry...technology is a wondrous thing that leaves me increasingly bewildered, but I'm not complaining.

Things are slowly taking shape. We got in our house this weekend, and while we'll be living out of suitcases for another few weeks, at least we have some furniture that had either been in storage here or was donated by friends. Plus we got our small air shipment yesterday, so we have more clothes as well as our computer. Still no online access, though, in part because the choices are somewhat bewildering. Do we get our internet access through the phone company or through the cable company? If the former, do we get DSL or fiber optic? If the latter, do we get the special deal where they provide not only cable and internet but also phone service as well? Life was so much less confusing when things like this were run by monopolies...

But I digress. The bottom line is that things are going pretty well, and while being back sometimes feels like an out-of-body experience, overall we're settling in about as well as can be expected. Hopefully we'll have much more to say once we're back online in the next week or so...
