Just about there...

Hey all. Sorry to have been out of touch -- we have no land-line phone, the cell service in the Hollywood Hills is an abomination and the only way to get online reliably is to poach off a neighbor's wireless router as I am doing right now. All should be settled by mid-next week, we hope. Otherwise things are OK. After my 4th July post we stopped at Disneyland for fireworks and a couple of favorite rides.We had a blast for our 10th anniversary together. Since then it has been more or less constant unpacking. We are now at a point where we can hang som stuff on the walls and the only stuff in boxe are our books. We need a few items of furniture rather soon, such as bookcases and a couple of file cabinets, but the home theatre and our desks and computers are set up -- all we need now is the broadband connection. Those on the east -- you are in our thoughts! We just forget the time difference and then around 9:00 say, I'm gona call Mom, and then we're like, but it's midnight there! We'l get used to it -- on top of which our cell phones make every call an aggravation so we have been using them only for quick, necessary calls. So don't tale or lack of calling the wrong way!
