…but I’m right! Get yer historical hero clay figurines now!
Last week was spring break for New Brunswick schools. So, our kids were home with little on their minds. Thankfully, their grandma took them for two days and they had a great time with her.

Perhaps I’ll try for DSL and see if I can do the floppy netinstall hack mentioned in the forums. Wish me luck!
