Hey, guys. A week ago today my grandma had a massive stroke, and I’ve been here in Ohio ever since. As the modem is apparently broken in my PowerBook, the only place where I can get online is a wifi hotspot in Wooster, which is apparently having some major issues with outgoing ports or something along those lines, because I can’t connect to make any updates here. At the moment I’m in an Apple Store in Cleveland, ogling one of the new 23″ displays and hanging out with my mom, taking a break from all the medical stuff.
Anyway, long story short, I’m going to be offline for a little while longer. I’m not sure when I’m heading back to Chicago yet, since things with Grandma are still up in the air. She’s recovering, but she’s still really weak, and she’s really unhappy in the nursing home where they sent her after the hospital. Yeesh, what a week.
Thanks for all the support you’ve been sending me so far, folks. I appreciate it. I’ll catch you later.
