Interwebs on Mallard Trail

Yep, we took the wintertime plunge at Lake Martin.  Plunge into cyber space, that is.  

To connect or not to connect has been an issue since the beginning.  Tom decided to dive right in.

This week we connected both to the internet and to cable TV.  The rationale:

We needed a bribe to get Foster to the Lake when he can't wake board or tube.

I love my computer time - and I DON'T work, much, when I'm on the computer on the weekend.

but mostly, WE LOVE FALL FOOTBALL~

And since Tom is the uber of uberest of geeks, we are all set up for wireless surfing on the deck.  What's not to love?

So, here's to testing the waters. . . .
