Getting Connected

It's good to talk!

And we have certainly done a lot of talking since we arrived here at RWA!

And for the first time ever at a conference, I am connecting in other ways, too...

Remember the problems Oh Patient One and I had getting an international cell phone?

Well, although I have borrowed Teenager No #1's American cell phone for the duration of my trip over here (it's blue, it's cute, and the ring tone is all tinkly and nice) I have also brought along the new, improved international cell phone. Just to, you know, test it to see if it would really allow me to call home from America, or if the assistant in the cell phone store had lied shamelessly to me. I decided to call Oh Patient One. I had an audience...

Me: "I'm just going to see if this phone actually works from here."

Lani and Eileen (who know from past experience how Things Happen to electronic devices when I have anything to do with them): "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."

Me: "No, really, it should work from here."

Lani and Eileen: (lolling on the bed): "Hahahahahahahahahahahah."

So I called Oh Patient One, and he picked up, and it WORKED!!!!

Lani and Eileen: "We can't believe your international cell phone actually WORKED!!!"

Neither could I. But I am happy to report that RWA is fun, fun, fun, and I am having such a blast with the Literary Chicks (Whitney, we miss you). And I can call anyone. Anywhere. In the World. Talk about connected!
