For anyone who has always wanted to talk to people online, but still wants to be able to show off their fancy dental work, I may have a solution for you. Today I had my first Mother-Son video chat. My mother, the one with the hair, just got an iSight for her computer. I was then able to hook up my old Sony TRV 900, and with very little tinkering I was able join in on the fun.

Now, for the first time in years, I can talk to my mother AND wear pants.

To clarify, Dawn left me to go to Florida for a conference and will be coming back on Friday. Also, she kind of had to take my kid with her because the little bugger hasn’t been born yet. Still, I find the whole situation devastating.

If you, like me, are codependent, then you know that there is nothing worse than a whole week alone. For people like us “alone time” is roughly equivalent to being trapped in a coffin filled with urine soaked spiders. We all know if there is one thing spiders hate, it’s being soaked in urine.

Now if you will excuse me, I have to go call my wife and ask her if she can read my blog entry and tell me if it is funny.
