Whew, the rain caught me on my evening commute. I know I need gas, but with the downpour and wind, I didn't feel like stopping. I suppose I'll have to do it first thing tomorrow morning, when it will probably be even colder, windier and wetter! Oh well, such is the price I must pay for laziness.

I also had difficulty logging on tonight. I rarely receive a busy signal - so you know I can't be using AOL! - and was surprised when I continued receiving an error message about being unable to confirm my password. After several attempts, I stopped trying and went to view the boob tube. I told myself that the problem must be on their end.

Well, a couple hours have passed and here I am! It obviously was on their end and I'm glad it's all straightened out. I learned a good lesson, too.....have the snail address and phone number for where to call when you can't get online. I didn't have this information ready, so I couldn't seek assistance!
