Malls

Not my thing…

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas, i.e., many boxes being delivered by Fedex, UPS and the US Postal Service. For people like me who don’t care if they ever see the inside of a shopping mall again, the ability to shop via the Internet is great.

Burlington

It was too cold there for me…

I was in Burlington, VT, home of UVM, Ben & Jerry’s and many gallons of Maple Syrup a week or so ago. And it was cold! What really surprised me was the traffic congestion. Burlington has a population of about 40,000, but the traffic was as bad, if not worse, than that here in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.

Disconnected

BTFU by Verizon…

Verizon inadvertantly disconnected my DSL service a couple of days ago. After three or four hours on the phone with various levels of technical support and customer care people, finally got it straightened out. Turns out Verizon has to process me as a “new” subscriber to get my DSL service turned back up. So, no DSL until around 3 December or so. In meantime, I’ll have to make do with a plain old 56K modem to connect to the Internet.

What’s New

Nothing much…

Lets see, what’s new? I did a redesign of the the home page on my web site. No particular reason for doing this…just seemed like a good idea at the time. And I got a flu shot. Boring!!!
