A hula hooping senior citizen
Still no internet an home (VERIZON!!!) thanks to some shoddy customer service, so this has to be brief. Last week Matt was walking home by the green space near our house and saw an elderly woman with a bag of groceries. A couple of hula hoops in the grass caught her eye, so she plopped down her groceries, swung a hoop over her head, and began swirling. No one else was around, and Matt wasn’t sure if she was slightly senile or just very uninhibited, but she had a smile on her face, so I guess that’s all that matters. I wish I could have been there!

Going bonkers without the internet
We moved to our new house on Saturday (yay!), but the downside is that Verizon can’t set up our dsl line until July 7th. I didn’t realize how much I hop on the internet to look up a phone number or get directions…I actually lugged out the Baltimore phone book the other day. Two observations: (a) this phone book is too heavy and (b) it takes a lot longer to look something up in a book instead of conducting a quick search.
I know I’m privileged to even have the internet so a week without it shouldn’t be this painful, but July 7th can’t come soon enough (hence writing a blog at work…).
Happy 4th!
