I see MOM is back at the top, that's good. Sorry I wasn't here to help with the lifting for a couple of days--the phone went out on Saturday (and still hasn't come back yet. . .) Phone company ran some sort of diagnostic and then asked if I had any dogs in my back yard. Typical phone company non sequitur, eh? I assume they think the phone problem is MY fault--I suspect that one of their minions turned off my switch at the box up the street when they were working up there.

Anyway, MOM, this may be a brief visit--I just called my house from the office and the answering machine didn't come on, so I think I'm still out of DSL there.

Hold the fort, snotty or otherwise, guys.
