Day 311 - April 23 - The internet is broken!
OK, it's not the whole internet, but the effect is the same. My modem at home has experienced what I like to call "a failure", and what IT people refer to as "an event", and what Microsoft helpdesk people call "an undocumented feature". Alright, I apologize to any Microsoft people out there; that was a low blow. Still, the house is currently unable to connect to the internet, which has had two significant results - (A) it has prevented me from blogging for the last two days, and (B) it's seriously irritating Connor, as he stays connected to all his friends through it.
Hopefully it will be fixed later this afternoon, and we'll be able to return to some serious blogging instead of this whimsical notification (which, if you're wondering, I'm typing from a computer at work while on a quick break).
In the meantime, does anyone know how I can get ahold of Al Gore? He could probably get this straightened out in no time...
8-)
Talk to you soon,
Eric

I can't believe you broke the internet - again!
How many times have I said, "Please don't let the kids play with the internet!"
But nooooo...
You leave it laying around where anybody can fall over it, and somebody's going to get hurt. Can't you just put it back when you are done? Every time you use the internet, I have to pick up after you. I'm getting tired of it. The next time I see the internet out where it's not supposed to be, I'm just going to throw the darn thing away.
I mean it this time, bucko.
Don't you look at me like that, young man!
You go straight to your room. And no connecting on your iPhone, mister - you're grounded.
You wait 'til your father gets home.
In the meantime, out of the goodness of my heart, I've ordered another internet to replace the one you broke. It should be there tomorrow, and it's supposed to be easy to set up.
But don't you go thinking you can abuse this one, because you've got another think coming, buster.
Mom
(or Brad, one of which has actually heard conversations like this spoken around the house growing up)
Brad,
You should see this tetrapelic ROTFLOL...hmmmmmm now I must get back in my chair...I would hate to be on your mom's bad side. ;)
Al Gore's number:
1-800-484-8733.
That's 1-800-HUG-TREE.
Call now. Tipper is standing by.
Sorry if the internet wasn't working but the laugh I got out of Brad's email (or was it your mom's) was JUST about worth it!
