And my folks voted December so I'm almost happy with the date we actually got.

Being limited to a land-line would just be intolerable. Shudder.

Yeah, I know you're right and all.

But this whole "patience" thing is a real drag. :-P

Oh that sounds fun! What's the deal with it?

I don't know a whole lot about it. It was just the fifth one on the subscriber list. We get a couple each year that we don't know much about. Fortunately this year we could opt out of "Annie."

I think it's mostly a revue of his music.

ecurbh called me a little bit ago... said he remembered fondly all the anticipatory angst... but not so much that he wanted to move back to Minnesota so we could do it again...

I guess that's a good sign :~D

Heh. Goes to show ya.

There's much to be said about "comfortable silences" together - which really can't be done over the phone. That's strictly an "in-person" phenomenon.

Hello? Hello, are you there?

They work over the phone. As long as one of the people is not killing orcs or something. They sure as heck work over video chat :-D

You think?

Heh heh! I'm going on 7 minutes now...not bad!

Steve's got to get his paper submitted to the Graduate College by Friday.

~just disconnected...gotta try to reconnect~

Without going in to any detail, I will just tell you I'm extremely anxious and frustrated about it. I'm so anxious over it that I finally took a Benadryl and a hot soak in the middle of the day.

Heh heh!

You know, I'm not even worrying about the tax refund right now...it'll come eventually. I'm doing better now, but I was so upset over the paper situation an hour ago I could hear the blood pounding in my ears!
