Practice makes pergevt

This isn’t really an important entry—not a whole lot of substance to it—but our flight to Norway leaves tomorrow afternoon and I’m not bringing my own computer. Nope, instead of the little electronic hummingbird I call my laptop, we’re bringing a teeny-weeny junior-sized netbook that we bought a couple months ago. It was primarily so we could download maps from Google Earth to figure out where the hell we’re going on any particular day, but its uses have been expanded to include playing audio books while we’re on the road. And internet access, of course. (Whew!)

Consequently, at some of the hotels we’re staying at during our trip, I’ll have access to e-mail, the blog and Facebook (Whew!). I guess internet access isn’t that important, but family and friends might appreciate updates on what’s happening and you readers might enjoy the same. So why am I writing this? Do you really need to know about the potential for blog entries over the next four weeks?

Nope! But like I said, I’m leaving my electronic hummingbird at home and the keyboard on this netbook is waaaaaay smaller than what I’m used to typing on. So far, I’ve had to use the backspace key a lot more than usual, but at least I’m getting stuff on the screen. Legible stuff on the screen. So I’m just using this entry to practice using this keyboard. You know what they say: Practice makes pergevt… perfect.
