The Arrival

Briefly:

• Paul and I got in today shortly before noon
• Toph aka gcnmoo aka schnie23 got in about 10 PM tonight
• Paul and I are signed up for the 1.5k NL as alternates in the mid 200s
• We spent most of today haggling with the landlord and Cox Communications over internet difficulties, and miraculously all seems to have fixed itself in the late hours (with no help from the latter parties). I am praying my computer will get internet tomorrow when I wake up.
• The house is better than expected; the landlord leaves plenty to be desired. The key to all of it is the internet.
