Strange cell coverage.. A day in Plattsburgh.. Alex getting tired out..

It’s odd how I had 4 out of 5 bars on my phone for a while at my Memere’s house and then none. I roam for free on Unicel here and we’re in a spotty coverage area so it’s not the greatest speeds for data but it’s better than nothing. There’s no broadband here so I get on the phone to mess around once in a while. I love visiting but anyone gets bored in the same place for days. I love this phone. We needed a pizza place, found and called it on the phone. A store we were looking for, phone again. People love to make fun of me and playing with my gadgets but they come in handy more often than not. Using data and maps costs nothing extra to use and I do that more than I use it as a phone.

I helped my Uncle Clarence get his cell phone working in their new Ford Escape with Microsoft SYNC. It has built in bluetooth and they weren’t sure how to use a lot of the features. I paired my iPhone first and then their LG Verizon phone. It’s nice that my knowledge of tech can help in some cases.

Tonight we had pork roast, macaroni salad, green bean cassarole and potatoes. Before that at my cousin’s house they had pizza. One thing you always do here is eat well. I wonder how well they eat when we’re not visiting but I’d guess the same.

Alex has been playing pretty hard with Shaylee and Andrea so she’s sleeping really well. She’s not really a hyper kid who bounces off walls so keeping up with a couple of them who do can be tiring. She’ll be talking about playing with them for months after this trip.

I’m watching Kansas against UNC right now while my Mom, Colby and Deb play bullshit. I don’t really have an attention span for cards unless I’m drinking. They are definitely not drinking and I’m in Memere’s recliner with UNC getting whooped. I hope they lose. I’ll write more tomorrow.
