Internet restored
By the way, while I am posting these blog posts from an Embassy Suites in Tucson, AZ, I was able to restore internet service to my house before leaving town again. I performed a rigorous inspection of all my systems and identified the problem: a cable had come loose. I pushed it back in. I only wish I had been able to bill someone $175 or so for that.
Don’t think that’s much of an accomplishment? That’s more than my 18-year-old college kid was able to do in the five days he was home feeling sad without the internet.

Well, the wife who works with highly technical medical equipment wasn’t able to find the loose connection either. I blame the gnomes.

Yeah, there’s a reason the tech support guy’s first question is always, “Did you check the connection?” I’ve only once said “Yes, of course!” when I hadn’t… naturally, that was the time that something had come unplugged…
