I'm Back in the Saddle Again - at Least For Now

Through no fault of my own the DSL that takes me to the Internet went belly up at 9 a.m. Tuesday. Through no action on my part it came back on at 3 p.m. Thursday, which was half an hour ago. While I did nothing to make it go away and nothing that I know of to bring it back, a lot happened during the interval.

First of all, Jackie learned a few new words. In German. A few in Italian. Words that will not be repeated here in any language.

Second, the world's number one hater of telephones - that's me - spent an hour or so on the phone talking with a couple of fellows in India or Pakistan or somewhere in that vicinity. As I didn't speak their language and they didn't speak mine, at least not very well, a joyous time was had by all.
Most of my end of the conversations went like this:

"What did you say?"
"How was that again?"

"Repeat that, would you?"

"I didn't understand what you just said."

There were a couple of high spots, such as the following:

"Did you ask if I have a brain in my head?"

"Oh, you asked if the light was still red. Sorry about that."

So you get the idea. Anyway the DSL is working. At the moment.
