Hamdu-lillah

The literal translation: "All praise and thanks to God." It took an act of God, but we finally received an internet connection at home. After much ado and frustration aplenty, we hired an expediter who accomplished in three days that which we were unable in two months of bickering with an Egyptian internet "company". My computer, however, is riddled with a virus that has damaged the wireless capabilities; there is only one little corner of the house I can (literally) hook up my computer to the internet. Oh, don't be mistaken- this is no complaint. I am oozing with gratitude at this new ability to communicate with the civilized world on a semi-functional computer. Once an expectation, now a gift. More later...insha'allah.
