Took a break from piano teaching on December 21, and I officially start again on January 2, 2009. However, it wasn’t a complete holiday as I had to make up some replacement lessons, do the Christmas Choir thingy, and play at the hotel. Still, it was nice to have pockets of free time available, which is why my postings have been more frequent, if you’ve noticed.

I was elated with my male offspring’s PMR results (see my previous post) and since I’m a man of my word, I’ll be getting the Linksys WRT54G2 wireless router and USB adapter for him, so that he can share my Internet line on his computer. But as luck would have it, the darn thing is out of stock here, so I’ll have to exercise patience and wait for stocks to arrive (patience—Joshua, are you reading this?) Then I’ll probably have fun setting up the router, what with my system being on Vista and his on XP. If I can keep Murphy’s Law at bay, I will. For the uninitiated, one famous Murphy’s Law states:

If anything can go wrong, it will.

Fingers crossed, hopefully the router will arrive by next week, when said male offspring goes back to school (10th Grade, or Form 4). I’ll hook up the whole shebang and surprise him when he returns.
