Hello again Online World

Well, I've finally gotten myself re-hooked up. Cable internet at home. Should lead to more internet-reading and posting. On the other hand it is now no-weekend season again (first day of school was last Sunday).
One of the reasons I delayed for so long in getting home high speed internet, was that lacking this was, in a way, free-ing. I didn't have to consider if/how/what I would present to my audience, as I worked thru my own life for a while; and I got to prove to myself that I am *not* dependent on my online comics, really! Then it passed beyond "freeing" into "annoyances that would have been easier if I weren't continuing to make my life more difficult"+"man it's been too long since I emailed certain friends, but I don't want to do that at work even after hours", but by then I was getting ready for the Israel trip and let internet slide.
Once back, tho, I wasted no time in getting my service set up as the penultimate acessory to my sweet new pretty. (Remaining item: lens-cleaning cloth or kit -- not wearing glasses, I don't already own appropriate wipes)
Now I am back, and, as I said, hooked up, and I've already left home for work in the mornings a whole hour-bracket later than intended EVERY DAY FOR THE WEEK.

Yes, other things:

Trip to Israel was wonderful. Must not wait so long before next return!

Some people have been floating the idea of an annual-ish return engagement --- yessss.

(Then again with that trip and now I've just requested the days off for High Holidays plus day 1 of Sukkot, I'm now only 1 day short of my total vacation days for the year, and in fact one more in the negative than I am technically allowed.
I haven't reached the end of a first calendar year with them, so I still sort of feel that it hasn't been long, but my record tells me that I've crossed the 6 month mark several-plus days ago. ...Happy Half-Anniversary to me and them, I suppose.)


I have many pictures (and some new friends), but they [the pictures] are not online yet. Soon soon I assure you.

OK, I've just gotten my mind stretched with avacon. "Casino Royale" is definitiely the strangest movie that I have ever seen. And it's James Bond!
