Around the world by computer

In the wee hours this morning, I talked with two of my nieces. One conversation took place on facebook, the other on Skype. One niece is in York, England and the other is in Adelaide, Australia. Two computers, two networks, two nieces = a whole lot of talking and fun. Both girls are working on their Master's degrees, and I wish I was closer than half a world away. I miss them both.
