Rob and I have splurged a bit. We got smart phones. In fact, I'm using mine right now to write this. It's pretty cool so far but I might be having some eye strain. And this isnlt getting me off my Clie just yet either. But I can get the internet just about anywhere, which is very cool. I've downloaded a lot of applications already.

But am I writing? Phillippe is. Slowly. He needed a superscharged muse. He's by no means through with the story. He's just trying to find his bearings in the middle of it without letting the pacing lag too much.

Rob is taking the last--hopefully--class of his undergrad career. He needs a C to graduate. I think he can do it.

I'm working two jobs still. Weekends are at the Arabia Steamboat Museum. Sadly, one of my bosses there was killed in a wreck on his way home a few weeks ago. He was one of the nicest people you could ever meet. With that second job and some help we have thus far raised over $13000 for our adoption. We still need a lot more than that though, so, please, if you're reading this, would you consider making a contribution? There's a Donate button on our adoption page at http://robandgabrielleadopt.no-ip.org.Well, that's it for now.
