I advance my calendar every day, but none is so satisfying as when we go from December 31st to January 1st. I swing that magnetic ball on a string slowly back to the beginning – January, and place the other ball on “1.” It begins its 365 day trek all over again. I gave away [...]

Ain’t Facebook Grand?
Posted in ageing, Aging, tagged children, Facebook, friends, grandchildren, Humor, Kids, Technology, Words, Writing on August 19, 2010 | 13 Comments »
It’s a double edged sword you soon find out, helping your granddaughter set up a Facebook page. We’ve both waited for this day and like all things having to do with technology, we aren’t quite sure why.

Are you the kind of friend who will talk me off a window ledge, or are you the one who yells, “Jump!”? (Oh yeah, YOU try to punctuate that last sentence.) Anyway, as I was saying, here I am on the ledge, down below is an unproven, first edition of iPad, and I want you [...]

So Obama is using text messaging to announce his VP in order to showcase his technological superiority over his opponent. Clever.

It just went off again in the drawer—the alarm on my mile counter. It’s playing a tiny, unrecognizable tune as it has every day at 7:30 p.m. for almost a year. You know, I’m self taught, but usually manage to remain respectable around technology. My VCRs aren’t blinking 12:00. But I cannot, absolutely cannot get that [...]
