Back Online in Orinoco!

We're back, everyone! After ten days (!!) without the internet, we are back online, fully functional, and ready to search anything that comes into our silly heads. No more 'Well, we could look it up IF WE HAD THE INTERNET' or 'Let me just go check that, OH WAIT NO'. We have the power of a world full of knowledge at our fingertips. We are all-powerful.

Actually, I felt a little overwhelmed when I first got back on the internet. There's so much information out there, all the time! It was oddly restful to be solely in one place at one time, instead of x number of places (x being the number of browser windows currently open). Still, it is very refreshing to be able to talk to people again, and communicate!

First, though, Happy Thanksgiving! We shared the wonderful tradition of eating and well, more eating, tonight with some friends, and it was great. A table crammed with food, a large smoked ham, three kinds of sauces, potatoes AND sweet potatoes, six different kinds of wine, gravy, and three pies to finish (pumpkin, pecan and pear). Sure, its seasonally inappropriate in the Southern Hemisphere, but worth it nonetheless.

And now, speaking of communication, I will share some previous posts that would have gone up if we had had the internet. Enjoy!
