Atta Girl Award goes to two ToledoTel techs for moving this columnist indoors again to ply my trade.* My Writer's Den is one step closer to realization with Internet access now. John was a bit uncertain about the “girl” part of it, though I assured him it’s a high honor in my circle of readers. Stewart took it in stride, as he did when he hooked up our free ROKU unit last August.
Thanks to you guys, I’m once more Cool and Connected.
* Due to breathing issues, Daily Columns have been crafted largely “in the field.” Gee Cee’s Truck Stop has sponsored more than a few late-night sessions as well.
