Here we go

I’m sitting in the Starbucks in Santa Monica, having succumbed to purchasing a T-Mobile monthly wireless account. I should have known that it wouldn’t all be a free ride. Sigh. Also, sending mail from Outlook using my smtp mail server is somewhat problematic. In other words, it seems to work half the time, and not work the other half. Any technical gurus who may be reading this … have any solutions?

Got in yesterday afternoon along with two Very Large Suitcases. We have an enormous amount of packing to do before we’re ready to hit the road. Still not sure if we’re going to leave Wednesday or Thursday. But the month-to-month apartment in Green Lake is ours, so we’ll have a place to move into right away. That’s a load off the mind.

On the plane ride down here, I caught up on the New Yorkers and Atlantic Monthlies that have been piling up in the living room for weeks. Some really good articles/stories, and I saved a few of the stories, thinking S would enjoy me pretending to be a book on tape. His car stereo is fixed, so he didn’t greet this plan with the appropriate enthusiasm.
