Well....I spoke too soon about my internet service repair. Nothing had been done yet - I just happened to get lucky when I last posted. Things were fine last night but the speed died out on me this afternoon. Just as I was trying to do another speed test, our trusty Danny from Big Bend Telephone drove up. After installing a new modem and extracting their Tripp Lite surge protector I am blazing away again (fingers crossed). Been just over 2 years since his last modem replacement visit.

On a side note...Ben is about to become a star in the UK. Our episode shot by the British film crew last year will air soon. Ben was only 3 weeks old at the time and was named after the host.
