Got the computer/networking situation all squared away at Melissa’s, got in some quality time with Crash and Ella 
, then got online to shop for a new phone: since my poor hand-me-down Treo never really operated correctly, and Cingular wouldn’t give me a better deal for staying than they gave to new customers (slightly worse, in fact), I didn’t feel any great need to remain loyal to them. But the deals from other providers for a 650 wasn’t any better, and since my folks, my brother, and my sister-in-law are all with them, I ended up returning. Had a late lunch with Melissa (Greg was swamped) and talked some more about a possible business partnership in real estate. Stopped by Barnes and Noble and got 
“Embers” (SANDOR MARAI) and 
“The Rapture Exposed: The Message of Hope in the Book of Revelation” (Barbara R. Rossing), then Melissa took me to BWI. Glad I was early, because the line for security reminded me of Las Vegas’. And after finally getting to the screener, they determined that the pliers and screwdrivers in my computer tool kit were prohibited items, and so I had to go mail them to myself and come back through screening again. Sigh. Luckily they let me skip the line the second time. ll post about later. 🙂
