looking up

Things are looking up a bit now.  I made it into town again, and I should be able to return the microphone without too much hassle.  I got a lovely email from Bryan which made me feel happy and less lonely.  (Though others are certainly welcome.)  And I finally have a decent wifi connection here at a restaurant in town with a nice view of the river that also happens to serve a good cup of coffee.  

I just stopped at a grocery store and stocked up on the ingredients to hopefully make some hummus.  We'll see how that turns out.
