jenett(aka: Mom has a wireless network now. It's unpassworded, which is a good thing, as I'm sure she'd have no idea what the password is.)
I have arrived in Boston, courtesy a longer stay in Indianapolis than originally planned, due to Weather in Boston. (We left 2 hours late, and circled an extra half hour in the air.) However, I arrived safe, found my mother eventually (they have demolished and rebuilt Terminal A since I last had to navigate with any complexity in there.)
I have since made her computer make noise (by unmuting the volume: Mom is only slightly in the 21st century) and I understand I have things to do to her cell phone and her new GPS system to make them work better at some point. However, we have also had other good conversations, and she is approving of the new job stuff.
So... I do have 'Net access here, obviously, but probably won't much in New Haven. Felding folks, please to be deciding whether we're doing stuff Saturday (which looks thunderstormy) or Sunday? I am totally flexible. Tomorrow, I am going whale watching. (Again with the weather, but we'll cope. The actual marine forecast is not horrible.)
(Also, I woke up at 3:30 this morning, and therefore should go to bed or something. Even if bed is a blow-up mattress. (It's better than the alternative, which is a fold out foam thing that was a lot more tolerable in my 20s.) As I pointed out to Mom, though, I get the desire to have bookshelves. Especially since one of the sets of shelves is my father's complete works. Though, erm, I have *no* idea why she picked that order to put them on the shelves in.)

I've flown CDG-JFK, taken a car JFK-LGA, flown LGA-BOS, and arrived at my house in less time than that! (Okay, I did cheat a bit in that the CDG-JFK flight was on AF002.)
