An Imaginary and Indefinitely Remote Place

We’ve temporarily relocated to Duluth and guess what? We do have wi-fi up here. So much for unplugging from the matrix. But we packed and left in such a rush I left behind some crucial items. Such as:

  • The book I’m reading
  • The Thank You cards, from the little man’s birthday, that I still need to finish up and send out
  • My sunglasses (prescription, of course)
  • Sugar for my coffee
  • A hairbrush or comb
  • My hairdryer and flat iron
  • Vitamins

And lastly and most importantly:

  • The power cord for my powerbook

I’m already in the red zone, folks. Thankfully the husband brought his laptop…with its power adapter. At least I remembered to recharge my camera batteries before we left. Soon I’m off for a solo photowalk in and around Duluth, while the boys stay behind to chill out and geek out. And when I return to them, I will come back bearing Pizza Luce.

    Came to your blog via chel and her recommendation for your recipes (I sampled the bbq tofu and it was delish!) Do you have an rss feed?

    Zophia, oh dear. You’ll need to give me the details later.

    Misa, yes! The URL for the feed is here: http://www.massdistraction.org/weblog/index.php/feed/
    And I’m glad you enjoyed the bbq tofu :-)

    I’m glad you’re at a place with wi-fi! Duluth kids are out of school today and friday, so there are a lot of family activities going on. My son’s school is having a fundraiser at Carnival Thrillz today (http://www.carnivalthrillz.com/)& selling tickets for a dollar per ride. I’m going to post details on PDD.
