You may have noticed that I usually do blog posts on Thursday. I think I've mentioned this before, but almost every Thursday, late afternoon, some of our team members head over to the Samaritan's Purse base in a nearby town (about a 20-minute drive).
We have gotten to know some of the SP staff and they graciously let us come and use their satellite internet, which is much faster than the dial-up access we have via our cell phone network. I have given up trying to do blog posts on the dial-up.
(Should I also mention that often this is the only time in a week that I go anywhere in the car? Hmm...what does it mean about my life when an outing to SP is a nice change of scenery?!)

We settle down in various places. Usually we're all very focused on the things we need to get done in the precious 2 1/2 or 3 hours we have at SP. Not much chatting (except on Skype).

The folks that work at the base usually play volleyball on Thursday nights, and some of my team members enjoy playing, which is why we started coming on this particular day.
In some ways, it would be good if we were more restricted in Internet usage - it would make you more efficient! Glad they let you use it AND have some fun volleyball times.
