A Pox of Technical Difficulties, A Ballet, Revenge at Bethlehem!

I'm tired this morning because I was sick and tired last night trying to figure out why I couldn't connect with Blogger at home.  I stayed up well past my bedtime.  There's a multitude of reasons why I can't connect but they all seem to have unreasonable fixes.  And if this is a common phenomenon with an uncommon solution, maybe I should take my own advice and move my blog to WordPress.

I got out of work early today so I could be my daughter's dance partner at her ballet class at the Y.  I got out of work early with the promise to take a picture of this event.  It was pretty fun -- I just wish we did more plies.

We just got back from seeing Kai's rendition of Claude Herdman in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.  Sometimes I worry he's not acting as a trouble-maker.  They seem to cast him as a Herdman every year... strange!  Anyway we all had a good time and Kai was great as usual.  I asked Teresa if she liked it and she exclaimed, "Yes, it was very nice!"

Now I sit here typing this blog on the very same connection I had so much trouble with last night.  Perhaps it was my mention of WordPress that did the trick.  Is Big Brother reading?
