Dressed in Black

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black.
-Johnny Cash, "The Man in Black"

And now, ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys, I bring you the most boring blog post in the entire world! That's right folks - come on down! No photos! No witty prose! No cool links! But at least it's not very long. . .

I owe something like a million (or maybe 40?) emails, but we've been having serious internet connectivity issues. Somewhere between Cox, Motorola, and us, we have never managed to have a functioning connection and a functioning modem at the same time. I blog through the graces of the San Diego Public Library, but, alas, they have a bandwidth limit on uploads and downloads. No long podcasts; no cool photos on the blog. As you may have heard about DoD/VA information security issues recently, we cannot access web-based email from any Navy computers. Ironically, I can blog all I want, but I can't get the photos. So there you have it. I'm doing what I can until then, and we should be fully functional with internet at home by Saturday. In the meantime, well, leave a comment. I can read (and post to) my blog all day long (between all that other stuff I have to do, like Intern Orientation, i.e. paperwork).

Admittedly, I could have sought out internet access last evening, but I went to the Padres game instead. It was great fun, and I got to knit about 4 inches of my new cotton-blend black socks. Maybe you're lucky that I don't have any photos of it . . .
