OI!

I should have posted a few days ago. A number of things have happened that are worth noting.

First is I finally got both a new computer. It's a 10.6" screen, yeh, that small. I've always wanted a compy that was actually portable. I use it on the couch! Nice.

I also purchased an ethernet switch so I can use more than one of my many computers on the internet at once. (I just realized that I have 4 computers!)Got one for my dad too so we don't have to switch cables in and out at the wall all the time.

My family visited my brother this weekend. For those who don't know, he's attending West Point. It's been at least 12 years since I've been there. I remembered the Church, my old school and some of the other buildings. It all seemed so much smaller than it used to be... but of course I was so much smaller back then.

My brother, Harry, has changed dramaticaly in the few weeks that he's been there. He eats more, talks more, and no longer lurches the way he used to. On the whole he seems happier, though he is definitely worn out. I asked him to give us some 'knowledge' and was promptly greeted with "THERE's 110 DAYS UNTIL ARMY BEATS THE HELL OUT OF NAVY!" so I can see he's learning. He told lots of stories about hazing. That seems to be one thing for which West Point is good. He named his loose thread 'Fred.'

So that's it. I'm tired and in need of sleep. So maybe I'll rewrite this later so that it makes sense. More likely I'll just sleep in.

God Bless.

I like your brother. A lot.

And Navy will beat Army. Let's have a ballgame-watching party when we get back from Rome, eh?

What? Those sissies in the white pants? There were a few attending WP for a semester but they couldn't keep up with he formations.

;D

Oh, and Army will beat Navy.

God Bless.

Yes, the sissies in white pants. As opposed to the sissies in grey pants and fluffy hats.

Hmmm. This could be a fun sort of argument.

Navy will win. I will pay for the food if they lose.

God bless you, too.

Are you bringing the tiny computer to Rome?
