Blogging From The In-Laws, 2005 Edition (Day 1)

It’s that time of year again: time to head to Dallas for our yearly pilgrimage. I’m writing this post using Ecto somewhere above Kentucky, I believe, and should be able to post it once we actually get to my in-laws.
I finally dumped Cingular in favor of T-Mobile, but our order wasn’t completed in time for us to receive the phones before leaving for Dallas, so we had Let’s Talk ship our new RAZRs to Dallas ahead of us. I’m pretty psyched to get to try ’em out, and maybe the Bluetooth Contacts sync will actually work with the Powerbook this time, unlike with my fargin’ old Nokia 6820. (Note: Never buy a Nokia. Ever. Their OS stinks, their menu trees are ridiculously complex and it’s impossible to do the simplest things, well, simply.)
The flight has been uneventful thus far. What has been particularly striking to me is the sheer number of people sporting the trademark white iPod headphones. They’re quite popular amongst the holiday traveling set, ‘twould seem.
Traveling with a 2 month old infant has been interesting. Will has done fine, with nary a peep out of the lad for most of the flight. His ears don’t seem to be bothered by the pressure changes, which is an utter blessing. In fact, nothing about the child himself has been burdensome, rather, the sheer volume of baby accouterments that one is forced to drag along is stunning. Fortunately, there is a pack-n-play awaiting our arrival, so we didn’t have to pack that.
The time in Dallas will be interesting and event-filled, as we’re headed to my wife’s cousin’s wedding and then have to make the full rounds of TX relatives in order to give them all a little Will Time™.
Updates may be sporadic, as I don’t know how often I’ll be able to get online – the in-laws have SBC DSL, but I’m fairly sure that I won’t have the option while in Shreveport, LA for the wedding.
