Thanks very much for the salutations. Have a great time at the game. I'm finally attempting to get caught up with the email inundation. After downloading stuff from the Bard site, I naturally had to see what new books were added to Bookshare since I had been unable to go there for the reason I mentioned. It does my heart good to see series, trilogies, etc. being all present and accounted for. I look forward to saying hello on Saturday.

So glad to have you back! It sounds like things were worth the hassle. If the weather holds out as expected, we are going to a baseball game Saturday afternoon, so we might be to chat late. It would be worth it, though, to get out of the house when the weather is good. Smiles. Enjoy your new and improved connection!

Some guys from the phone company connected a data line from my sister's computer to mine. (they had to go under the house and drill a hole through my floor so a wire could go through.) The result is I could download stuff from the Bard site, I could talk on Skype, and (whoopee!) go to my chat room sites and experienced no connection problems. I know longer need my receiver. I'm in business. I can finally chat with you all and am ready to do some serious (or not-so-serious) proofreading. It's good to be back.
