Red and White (not the Austrian Flag)

Yvonne with red umbrella, on a snowy day heading back to the apartment. Today I skyped with Douglas and Yuval---my esteemed collaborators for Crescent City---unpacked the keyboard controller, and enjoyed the slightly warmer (more like, less cold) weather. Much of the afternoon devoted to internet complications. Since there is no internet service provided in this apartment (although its prime location, spaciousness, and stunning art make up for that), I had to purchase a Vodafone system, and now pay for all the data that I use. One gig costs 20 Euros. But hey, you can connect anywhere…including the trains. Like everything else, we are being more conservative, not staying online unless we have to, and avoiding mega downloads – like the one TV show Yvonne downloaded, wolfing down around 500 meg and suddenly, poof, we're offline.
