The computer problem wasn't our router at all. I don't know what Bob's problem was, but it seems to be fixed now. My little baby, on the other hand, is one sick puppy and I've spent the last few days trying to save all my Encore music files onto my external hard drive. Then tonight or tomorrow I say "Hail and farewell" to whatever is left on my sicko hard drive and re-install the guts back with my recovery disks, which will force me to re-purchase Encore (not cheap, but absolutely necessary to the quality of my life!). And then, Dear Readers, I can go back to blogging with a vengeance, and post photos (I believe I have most of them saved, thank goodness) and generally foist stuff upon you. Just hang in there, and keep on enjoying Bob's journal posts.

We're having a huge multi-stake conference this Sunday, with some 69 wards meeting in the Conference Center (ours is one of the lucky ones!) for a meeting presided over by President Monson. Everyone else is doing the broadcast thing in their respective meeting house. Then we're having company over for lunch -- our Texas stake president's mother, another Texas friend, and my old trainer and her husband. It should be great fun and a lovely Sunday.

Bob is very close to getting the Mission Memories books finished and ready to go to the printer for a galley copy. Which is why we're here 45 minutes after quitting time, and look to be staying for another 45 minutes or so. But we sure would like to finish this and take an afternoon, or even a whole day, off for Personal Research. Stay tuned!
