All Quiet on the Western, errr Eastern, Front

Hello cnn.com. Hi there, hotmail and even facebook. Oh Vonage phone, how I’ve missed you! After a very frustrating small scale war with our Internet (it’s been giving us the silent treatment for the last two weeks,) we’re back online. Had a very interesting (and seemingly lucrative) conversation Monday with Tcom, and think we’ve (read: they’ve) got the problem solved. Have no idea what said problem was, as my conversation with dear Helga the Internet Technician was mostly in German. But seeing as it’s working now, not gonna stop to ask any questions. What’s that saying about looking a gift horse in the mouth? Anyway, I’ve truly missed blogging and pretending like I’m having a conversation with all of you. (Even if it is rather one-sided.)
