I don't always celebrate "weekends." It's not that I don't want to, but if I spend a couple days a week waiting for cells to be grown just so, I won't deny them if they finally get there on Saturday, as much as I suspect they do this on purpose because they are jerks.
This weekend though, no work. So we celebrated with Pittsburgh on Friday night. Saturday we got up, and decided, Heck, Let's just go to West Virginia. After having grown up somewhere you can't drive anywhere, it is really exhilarating to think you can jump in your car, and drive to somewhere else. Even if you are going to do nothing there too. Took a nice walk along the river (the Monogahala- the same one in Pittsburgh), did some window shopping in downtown Morgantown, ate some soft serve, drove through WVU and came home. Morgantown is only 1.5 hours from here- and we got a kick out of being spontaneous. West Virginia is not all that different from here, but we did see some gap teeth, and an ATV on the road.
Nice to take a full scale break, since this week is looking a little busy. In other news, my phone has been acting out, so we are considering the possibility of new(er) ones. Does anyone know if Verizon phones work in Juneau? Matt gets an employee discount, so we could be convinced to switch networks. I bought some new shoes today, I am hoping this will get my knees and hips back into alignment so I can start running (or at least exercising) again.

Verizon calls come to Juneau just fine, thank you. However, they do not have local network sevice here. That means they felt free to fire Kelsey when she came home to spend the Christmas vacation before semester at Sea and started making her national calls out of network while here. We were suitably unimpressed but made a decent transition to AT&T which has the local service for Apple I-phones. They actually tried to charge her for early termination even though it was their decision. A quick phone call squared that away but it did get me excited. They have a good reputation on all the Boards but clearly like to play the game the way they want.
I agree- Verizon is not that interested in customer service. I was so relieved when my 2 year contract was over and I could getter better and cheaper service. Check out Consumer Cellular - no contract, better reception for me than Verizon ever had, can change service packages monthly if desired, and I get a $10 credit if you mention I recommended them to you.
Well, oops, I stand corrected. T-Mobile fired Kelsey for being out of network too long. T-Mobile usually was well thought of as long as you stay in network, I guess. So we actually have no experience with Verizon, so I defer to Betty and any other ears-on experience. Consumer Reports has made regular reviews of national programs. Check-em out for opinions as well. Sorry for the confusion....Dad
