Finally

Sorry for the lack of recent posts but our internet connection at home has been hacked up for the last week. After Katrina there were no options here for cable or dsl so I managed to get in contact with this small company that does beamed broadband for secure commercial applications. Anyway, the owner of the company is a homebrewer as well and took pity on us and set us up with a system for next to nothing.
At any rate, we have this Motorola router/radio that beams a wireless signal to the top of the Domino Sugar refinery out here which then relays the signal to another radio in downtown NOLA and finally the signal is bounced to our ISP's systems. Normally this crazy setup operates at speeds that blow cable and dsl away (4 Mb/s or higher down the pipe), but for the last week it's been drag-ass slow or not working at all. Turns out that one of the connections downtown got configured incorrectly and the radio on Dominos kept cutting out because they had it on the same circuit as their x-mas lights, which kept blowing the breakers.
To make a long story short, it got fixed finally.

On to Viv- we told her we're gonna watch LSU in the college bowl championship tonight and I think she misinterpreted it:
