Wisconsin Update
I arrived safely in Wisconsin on Thursday. Dad is doing very well — the usual discomfort after having a knee replaced, but he’s at home and moving about as needed on crutches.
My cellular modem stick can connect at the house (at a whopping 237k). But, since it doesn’t even find the Edge network there (does that mean we’re over the Edge? I think so.), I haven’t been able to do any useful internet work from there. There’s a nice little coffee shop in town with WiFi. The library has WiFi, too. I’m at the coffee shop now after dropping Mom at work. Dad’s listening to Wisconsin football (tied with Illinois when I came in from the truck) and reading, so I think he’s comfortable for a few hours. He’s a lot like me and perfectly happy to be by himself for awhile.
Trying to figure out what direction my NaNo novel will take. All is well, so far. Hope the same is true for you folks.
Glad to hear your dad is doing okay.
I’m trying NaNo this year, have you signed up yet? Let me know your Nano name and I’ll put you on my buddy list (we can cheer each other on). 🙂
I’m glad he’s doing well! And places without good internet…who knew they still existed! 😛
Enjoy your time with your folks, and have a great nano!
I’m PolarBear60 on NaNo. Good luck!
Well, my folks live about 3-5 miles outside of the town limits of a small town. They’re in the Madison area, but they’re probably 8-10 miles from great connectivity via the ATT network. I’m typing on the laptop in a parking lot while my Mom’s at an appointment now, and connectivity is great.
Blustery with periodic snow showers. Nothing that will accumulate.
