And even they did, the houses are probably too far apart. Basically, what I want is to be able to curl up with Agnes after my parents go to bed at night, so McDonald's won't cut it. At the very minimum, I can check my email via webmail and maybe peek in on Bloglines now and then. (Cue violins. . . .)

I have noted this as we drive to PA and filed it away as a potentially useful bit of information, though I have not availed myself of this yet. Of course, though I'd miss you, I have been wondering what it would feel like to be un-connected (after the initial withdrawal and panic that I haven't gotten over when I've actually tried this) for more than a few days. So I am tempted to encourage you in this direction too. But it would be funner for me to get updates from the road!

This is Warsaw we're talking about here. Think Quality Farm & Fleet and Bob Evans. Coffee shops? This is Warsaw we’re talking about here. Think Quality Farm & Fleet and Bob Evans.

Or is Wi-Fi regarded as the work of the devil in that part of Indiana? (Or: "'Why fie'? That's an odd thing to say!") Couldn’t you just creep around coffee shops and the like looking for Wi-Fi?
