She really is the smartest 



If there was any doubt as to who has the brains in this relationship, it will have been more than dispelled these last two years. I may have the fancy book learning, and the ability to recognise a one way street and shout when I see it, but Elle proves time and time again just why I love her.

As you may know from the not terribly good voice quality, we have a VOIP phone, currently with Packet8 , shortly to be Vonage . One of the drawbacks to such internet telephony is the inability of our DirecTivo to call home. That makes the tivo sad, as it's been in the house for over a year and hasn't had the chance to update to the latest software.

Industrious and resourceful as ever, Elle arrived home last night with a special serial cable and her work laptop - the macintoshes in the house lack such legacy items as serial ports - and set about tunnelling through the firewall. Sat on the floor, brow furrowed, a winning smile crossed her face and her eyes lit up. Success! The Tivo phoned home, and I was reminded yet again just why we work so well together.

Today marks one year since we set off on our hot road trip through the American west to Kentucky, and it's been the best.

Love you, Darling.
