Catching Up

Verizon finally restored my phone and Internet service this morning! I'd be cheering — except that I'm so worn out with all that I had to go through to get my service restored. I haven't yet tackled Verizon's billing department, but that step is not far in the future.

Of course, after nearly a full week off the web, I have a lot of catching up to do. I will first be tending to work matters (end-of-term papers and grades), then getting to emails, reading comments here, visiting my favorite web sites, and posting again.

Anyway, for now, I'm no longer living under a rock.
