- Christmas zipped by so very quickly. If it weren't for the tree, I think I would doubt it happened at all. My mom showed up on Thursday from Tennessee, with her pooch in tow.

But staying unwired now may be the rational choice for some folks, even if academics and wonks pronounce the Net "indispensable" -- for academics and wonks. |
