また引っ越し?!
旦那の日本転勤が決まりました!!神奈川県座間市です。基地内に住むのかまだわかりませんが、近くの人宜しくね!!子供達は温泉があってじいじ/ばあばがいるので大喜び。テキサスの大きいお家から日本の小さい家に行くのはちょっと残念だけど、温泉と日本食には勝てませんね。いつ引っ越すのかは何となく分かってるんですが、ちゃんと決まってからお知らせします。

Life without the internet is like a night without stars: dark, dreary, cold.
My computer was having a panic attack from the traveling I put it through during the Christmas break. When I came back to Virginia, it simply decided to quit altogether. It took nearly an enitre month to find someone who could fix it. Now, I'm back online and am happier than ever.
The biggest reason I missed my http://www.(fill-in-the-blank) was the lack of communication I had with my family. Being able to use the webcam to talk to my wife and kids is almost as good as being there (almost). Of course, when the connection goes weird and the sound and the video are out of sync it's not as pleasant.
Another reason I dig the web is to look up stuff. Holy cow, how many times in the last four weeks have I wanted to know something and been completely helpless. I called my wife in Indiana to ask her for the phone number to Domino's Pizza here in Virginia Beach.
I'll tell you what though, this past month I never would have been able to read The Picture of Dorian Gray or Great Expectations if I had Hulu and Youtube.
