This week

I'm now in Corunna, Ontario. The trip was looong! We were in the car for 13 hours on day one, 16 on day two, and 11 on day 3. Ugh. On Sat John & I were about ready to kill each other. We didn't get to the hotel in Wisconsin until 10pm. Fortunately, now that we are here, things are much better. And it's been great to see John's family again.

I am trying to add Skype, but I'm working on John's Dad's computer, and I can't find the microphone. I'll have to ask him where it is, so I can try it. Hopefully I'll get it working properly soon.

In the meantime, we have been using IM at the reference desk for a couple of months. We're hoping that in Sept, when we can market it better, it'll get more use. The one thing I can say about it is that people often don't give us enough time to respond. We'll be in the process of typing of a response and before we can send it, they've left the page. We're trying to make a quick response with a "..." to indicate that we're going to continue, but still, people leave. Oh well, hopefully soon they'll realise we're old and can't type that fast.

My IM name is c-sheriff@hotmail.com. Chance are good I won't be available for Skype or IM for the next few weeks as we travel around.
