Thanks, FrogNet: Back on the Web

I'm back home after a week in an Ohio state Park cabin we named 1950's House, after the PBS specials. There was no phone, which meant no internet--not even dialup! There was no dependable cell phone service, either, so the laptop was destined to remain unconnected. When in the fifties, do the fifties thing, so we made S'mores and toasted marshmallows on a real fire made from windfall wood. It was great!

We did, however, make a couple of drives to a nearby college town, where we, er, piggybacked on somebody's WiFi (FrogNet), so email was answered, forums were moderated, and I put up the posts of two great books I'd read, Chris Van Allsburg's latest, Probuditi, and Jane Yolen's World War II novel, The Devil's Arithmetic. If you missed them, check them out.
