Hi there friends,

Troubleshooting DSL and Network problems at the same time can be a
b*tch.  In the interests of keeping my marriage intact, there has to
be only one person in charge of the network and in this case, the task
has fallen to Lynda, who is undergoing surgery at the end of the month
to replace a knee.  Staring over your partner's shoulder and making
'suggestions' is one of the surest ways I know to start some ugly
words passing between people who otherwise know and respect each
other.  I won't do it.

I will, next week, get some ethernet cables and make this a wired
system, not a wireless one, except for the laptop.  Right  now the DSL
is wired directly to Lynda's computer and I'm just going to have to
wait.

My love and Purrs to all who may need them and if you all wanted to
purr for a worthy cause, purr for my darling's knee surgery

I know I'll never catch up -- it's an impossible task.  I'm sorry to
have missed all the give and take that this year has become such a
very real and integral part of my life.

My best to each and every one of you.

Regards and Purrs,
O J (Old John) Gritmon
