So, we have all complained about losing our blessed Internet "connection" from time to time. Myself included. But, today I am here merely to say that I would trade this super quick, cat like speed of a connection [to the rest of the free world and beyond] - for one other life luxury.
HEAT.
Around 10:00 this morning, I was standing at the counter writing out some checks. My nose was seriously COLD. It's about this time you look up for a second, take a mental note of your surroundings and, "It's really cold in here. What the?" Lo and behold, upon inspection of the thermostat the house is at 65 degrees. Not super cold - but relative to the fact it is freezing outside and this feels much colder than a 65 degree summer day.
After flipping the switches I know to flip and check when things like this are in question, still no heat. So, I have called the repairman and as I type this it is 1:10 and 62 degrees. I am becoming aware that time is now relative to temperature and pretty soon I won't care what time it is and I will just be checking the temperature. I think I add a layer for each degree lost. I have boots on now.
Yes, I would much rather tear my Internet connection from the wall with my bare hands than be without heat for the same amount of time. Coffee. I will make some coffee.

Dude, don't even joke about losing your internets connection. That shit's not funny! (pardon my French)
Have your tried wiggling the thing? Or shaking it? You should shake it.
Are you still alive or a frozen mass with coffee still in hand?
Where's Mark? Maybe it's just me but I sort of view him as a McGyver type that can solve anything with a toothpick, a paperclip, some sugar and a match.
