Slow and cold

Last night it got down to about 47 degrees. This morning, I can’t get more than a 19.2Kbps dialup connection. I don’t know whether these events are related or not. Thankfully, Speakeasy tells me that my DSL should be up by week’s end. I sure hope so.
Of course, the cool weather is welcome, because it’s the result of a cold front that blew through and left absolutely beautiful weather in its wake. Saturday morning, we had our weekly soccer game (a 3-3 tie), then we went to Harrison Rally Days. This is an annual Perrysburg street fair that commemorates a political rally for William Henry Harrison (I think in 1806); even though P’burg had a population of only about 1,000 people, more than 25,000 people showed up for the rally. We had a great time out in the sun.
In the afternoon, the boys & I went fishing on Lake Erie with Dad & Tim; Tom caught a piece of seaweed, but he and David were so excited about the live minnows we used for bait that our lack of results didn’t faze them. Last night Arlene cooked up a big pot of red beans and rice, and Dad & Tim came over for supper. The subfloor is laid in the upstairs bathroom. All is good with the world.
