Halley talks about something
that I think about quite frequently. With me the question was
posed "do you think things would be different if Cindy were still
here?" I know that is a silly question, obviously had she not
died things would be totally different. The girls would still
have mother and I wouldn't be a widower. Yes things would be
different. But the question that runs around my brain at 3:00am
is would Cindy have responded to this crisis or that differently.
For me the most bothersome thought is that if she were here my girls
would have someone to be there with them on the school field trips, a
room mom that was actually their mom. Someone to go to with those
private personal issues that no girl would ever want to talk to her dad
about.
So in an attempt to be more like Cindy was for them I have to grapple
with the regular thoughts of whether it is possible for me to work even
fewer hours to be 'there' more for the girls and still be able to pay
the bills, to keep a roof over their heads.

As I sit here 'tethered' to my PC, or even 'untethered' with my laptop
within the range of my Wi-Fi access point, I am listening to WholeWheatRadio which Doc hooked me up with and reading an interesting item on the Web written by one of the folks from WholeWheatRadio about one of my dreams, a wireless Internet receiver.
One of the things I like about the Internet and streaming media is the
ability to listen to Radio stations from all over the world. I
tend to listen to 'stations' from the old country the Czech Republic and small 'stations' from around the US.
I am looking forward to a time when the mega corporate entities no
longer control what we can hear and see and we are able choose what we
want when we want where we want. It seems to me we just need
Wi-Fi like coverage on par with cell phone coverage and we will have
what we need for this to happen. With broadband wireless coverage
"everywhere" we will be able to stream Internet content so we won't
have to go through the akward process of downloading all kinds of data
and storing it on PCs or portable devices. Leave the massive
amounts of data spread out across the Internet and just stream it to my
portable device on demand.
