A New Year

Well... this is highly civilized... I am sitting in Starbucks (it is not January 1... a few days before actually), and I am typing this on my new laptop (a Christmas present from my GEM!)... sipping a hot chocolate and amazed at the fun that this is creating! I am writing for my blog while sitting in a coffee shop. Somehow this ties into my story/vision/whatever of what writers do... so maybe I'm a writer?? Yeah... yeah... this is the year of the Writer in my books! This laptop thing is to support me in being able to write wherever and whenever... so, it is working out well... I wasn't sure about wireless access but Starbucks (bless their hearts) has a deal with Bell wireless where customers with a Starbucks account can sit in a Starbucks, log in using their account and get 2 whole hours of FREE wireless access!!! Very cool!!! I may have to create another account with another id for another 2 hours... so we will see... And now i see that it has an error while saving so I might have to check connectivity... ah we're back... that's good! I would hate to type all this stuff in and then find that I had lost it all!!! Anyhow... I am enjoying myself immensely... So... just thought I'd put that our there... I am looking forward to sitting in the backyard during the summer and typing away... Taking my laptop on a bike ride and typing away at a picnic table somewhere... or sitting on a beach... not necessarily connected to wireless... but still... I have projects I can work on! And I am bouncing up and down with excitement at this idea of being able to write whenever and wherever I am!!! Very way cool... have I mentioned that yet???
