Memories

Having no Internet access does not sound like a big deal to some people, but it left me with no access to most of my friends for nearly twenty four hours.

It also left me without the access to research that I didn't realize I had become accustomed too. No looking up songs, or poetry, pictures, or articles as the mood struck me.

I could not play solitaire because I have no actual cards. I could not play Words with Friends because my phone would not allow me to see anything with pictures in it.

I could not even watch television because I use the Internet to do that.

Today the cable guy replaced my modem with a new higher powered one that connects to my Roku directly and everything returned to normal.

I spent last night reading, which is wonderful, but it used up most of the new book I just bought.

Fortunately, I can go to the library, or order another book soon, but it reminded me of my childhood when books were so precious, especially if I wanted ones I had not previously read.
