Connell's soccer team is at the US East regional championships in the Middle-of-nowhere, West Virginia. It's interesting to note how all the families are keeping in touch and coordinated--where and when to meet for dinner, for instance--we're not in the same hotel.

All of us could do tweetups, I suppose, but only a few of us Twitter. Email doesn't work well, since not everyone has a smartphone. But everyone *does* have mobiles and *can* text--so, we're sending grouptexts. The Blackberry's messaging client, at least, let's you send a single text to a group of mobile numbers.

Simple and useful.
