I am excited to report that David and I have finally taken one more small leap into the 21st century. We are no longer connected to the internet at home by dial-up. We finally have a high speed connection! This is the second such move we have made (cellphones were #1). All we have left is to get more than two or three channels on our TV. I think we'll stay without cable a little longer until we get used to the amazing speed of our internet.
It seems that in order to stay in the information age you have to be willing to spend almost $200 a month to stay connected. I would guess that quite a few people pay more than that per month because they have the fancy souped up plans. I'm not that old (really!), but to have gone from landline phones to "crackberry's" seems like a big leap. I'm sure that by the time I'm ready to retire there will be something even more suited to staying connected. Well, at least I can say that because we are slow adopters, we get the benefit of lower prices and fewer buggy machines ;-)
Today is sink and garbage disposal install day. We went to look for plumbing supplies last night and it was quite overwhelming. The number of little brass couplings/unions/T's/elbows with different types and sizes of connectors was amazing. Hard to find what you need. I could only stand in front of them at the store for too long before I started getting a little cranky. I know David will do a good job and I'm glad that I'm just a helper on this.
