Home Again

I made it home in one piece last night. Buster and Gracie were as excited as you might guess; they seem very pleased with their Christmas gifts. (Buster is more toy-oriented than Gracie, and began playing Shake-the-Rat with his immediately, but even Gracie got into the spirit of things. Her version of playing closely resembled eating, however.) I'll be taking Buster in for a follow-up on Saturday, but he seems to be OK.
I got an AT&T tech out to look over the DSL situation; he found nothing wrong with the connection, which implies the fault lies within my computer. The Best Buy Geek Squad, on being consulted, were of the opinion that it's probably a hardware problem. I'll have to talk somebody into giving me (and the computer) a lift over there so they can take a look. I've been seriously considering getting a new computer in any case, but not quite this soon....
One reason to be glad to be back: I've made some interesting, and some puzzling, discoveries in connection with geodesics on rectangular prisms, and I really want to talk them over with W and T. (I keep running into parabolas in the parameter space. Parabolas do not happen by accident. Something has to be causing them....)
Heigh-ho. Where did I leave that harness?
