Update on my grandmother: she had been recovering well for a while, but this past week she’s come down with pneumonia and meningitis. They moved her into comfort care earlier today, and it seems like everyone’s getting ready for the inevitable. Hence my lack of updates the past couple of days. I’ll probably have a lot to write about her in a short while, but I’m not sure that’s something I’ll necessarily want to post to the .org.
In other news, I am hoping like hell that my next update here will be from my new computer. I’m going to put the modem from the old computer into the new one here either tonight or tomorrow, and make due with that for now; there’s a deal going on cable modem access in town, and the rest of the family’s helped me draft a proposal to give to my father showing him why we should make the switch. With any luck, we’ll get cable channels in at the same time. For now, though, I’d just like to connect to the Internet from home at something faster than 26.6. (I have a 56k modem, but the phone lines here aren’t that great.)
