August: in like a 500-mile pack-up-and-move, out like a crashing back-up hard drive (whose replacement is en route with UPS). #fb
I don't know the game or the time, Mrs. Fox, but I'd guess it's the hour of feasting bugs: mosquitos galore out here. #fb
Friendly six- and seven-year-olds at this park trying to teach Is. how to play What Time is it Mrs. Fox. #fb
Ypsilanti Heritage Festival. I'd post photos later, but the camera batteries are out of juice. #fb
Proposes a name change from AT&T U-verse to AT&T Cosmic Mystery: five hours of head-scratching before they said, "cannot connect here." #fb
AT&T U-verse hookup coming Wed. No unsecured wireless routers in this neighborhood. May check email etc. from campus later. #fb
Coffee too hot steaming on the kitchen table, and I'm rummaging in Butler's critical sourcebook on the rise fall rise of style in R&C. #fb
Great to be home but for the magnitude of unpacking: not only luggage from two weeks on the road, but the entire housestuff. #fb
Gas City, Ind., filling up with E85 ethanol flex and an iced coffee. Home by 7 p.m.? #fb
Bypassed exit for Pyro City (Black Cats!). Later I learned there are many Pyro Cities in Mo. and a dozen billboards ads for each one. #fb
Watching soccer practices on Hemingway Field, Parkville, Mo. Sun is setting. #fb
Zona Rosa B&N for coffee. Swagat lunch later (maybe). Mexico v. U.S. after later. #fb
@GeorgeOnline Twitter has gone haywire: it trippple posted a couple of Friday's updates, strangely enough.
Shopping for college startup whatnot at Walmart: a slow, flourescent suffering. #fb
Moving Ph. into Chesnut Hall. #fb
Perhaps a more fitting course title would be Intro to Big, Expensive Books Concerning Microsoft Apps. #fb
Deep reservations about Ph.'s Intro to Computers course requiring three textbooks totaling more than $260. #fb
An empty corkboard in Ph.'s dormitory, Chesnut Hall, displays only a banner at the top: Welcome to 'The Nut.' #fb
Blue Springs, Mo. (done driving for today). #fb
Three pick-up games at East Bank Club with Brian O. Soon: eight hour drive to KC. #fb
Lunch out w Ph., errands, and then to campus for keys. #fb
