I’m sitting under a tree on a green space just off SR 15 in No. Indiana… at Goshen College. I’m hoping it is a campus wireless that I hooked into. Oh well…. I’m on anyway. Imagine my surprise at finding a wireless connection at a Mennonite College… just a hop, skip and a jump from […]
Back Home Again….
