Stupid Internet

OK, I guess it's a bit ironic. I'm using the internet to diss the internet.

So far, I've worked my way through three potential posts and hit the "Publish Post" button only to have the connection be broken and the post to flee off into cyberoblivion.

There seems to be a bizarre pattern to it, too. The connection has been breaking down between 10:30am and 1:00pm almost every day. I'm beginning to think it's me (that is, my modem) instead of the service provider. But I can't quite figure out why the darned thing only pops off at that time of day. The lengthe of time I'm offline varies from day to day, with me having to holler for help about once a week.

Could it be one of those insidious side effects from Ike?

Hmmmmmmmm........

Con-cen-tr ... Oh! Look a Bird!

I seem to have the attention span of a flea recently. That's why I've not posted anything in a while. By the time I get an idea of what I'd like to say, a new thought takes me in an entirely different direction. So I thought that if I acknowledged my flitter-headedness, it might help.

It's not like I have nothing on my mind or to help keep me distracted. Elections, financial crises, difficult decisions coming up at church, technology deciding to malfunction at the worst possible moment (isn't that when it's supposed to malfunction?), recovery from yet another hurricane, meetings, and ... I've not had a vacation yet this year.

Hurrication doesn't count. That's actually hard work, trying to keep up with where everyone is and what information needs to be transmitted to whom and keeping people connected. Not to mention worrying about how your own home is in the aftermath.

Well, I managed to get this far and the brains have given up on me! I may go take a nap or read a book (if I can concentrate on it) or just veg out in front of the tv. The boy has Mythbusters on and they're kind of fun. The current one is McGyver myths. I love McGyver! Guess I'll toddle off and watch.
