WOW and a Party

Our internet, television, and phone did not work for eleven hours today! Once again I question the value of our WOW (Wide Open West, our service provider) "bundle" package. When everything is operating fine, it seems like a great deal. But when WOW experiences an interruption of service, everything goes out and I suffer from serious computer and tv withdrawal. Luckily, I had plenty of cleaning and packing chores to keep me occupied today, so things weren't as bad as they have been during past WOW outages. I just hope the internet stays on long enough for me to get this posted!

We held our November family birthday party on Sunday. Along with Adam and Nancy, who share a November 30 birth date, we also celebrated Ash's recent birthday. Ash is Jason's girlfriend who conveniently flew to town from her California home just in time to join us for the bash. On Monday, we met Adam and Nancy at the Outback for dinner. After eating, Adam came by the house to open his presents. Unfortunately for him, he has some lengthy homework assignments, several end-of-the-semester projects, and numerous grad school applications to fill out over the next few weeks. That ought to keep him off the streets for a while anyway.

Adam and his pile o' gifts.
