\"\"<\/a>Sorry I have been so remiss about updating. \u00a0I can rationalize that it is two miles each way to get email access, and the room I work in is a mail room that doesn’t really lend itself to creative thinking. \u00a0Nevertheless I am grateful that the Park provides internet access at all.<\/p>\n
