I was thinking of another way we could all stay in touch and chat via the computer and then it hit me. At CashCentral.com, we use Windows Live Messenger to stay in touch during the day. This is a nice tool. Instead of a phone call, Sandy will chat with me via the Internet to see when I’ll be home, what we’re having for dinner, or various other threats and to-dos.

Here’s how to make it work:

1. Download Windows Live Messenger at this link.

2. Install.

3. Register.

4. Add contacts (i.e. to add me you would put andym@cashcentral.com).

Any questions, let me know.
