Telepresence Has its Limits

My dad called me on Skype from his phone with a bunch of people around for my brother's birthday. But the connection wasn't very good; video was freezing and audio was breaking up sometimes. I got to be part of singing happy birthday, but it wasn't really possible to be telepresent and participate in the conversation around the table. I feel far away and lonely in a way that I haven't experienced here yet.

I had a good day out. I took a twenty mile ride along Genessee Street and then along the trail through Old Erie Canal Park. It's six miles to the trailhead, and then the trail goes for thirty six miles, ending near the town of Rome. One of these days I might ride the whole thing. If school allows me to get away for a full day of riding.
