Technology and Old Age

Well, I'm ba-a-a-ack, after more than a month since I've written anything--a month of lots of events, travel, busyness--you know, the usual stuff of life!

One of the things I've encountered is the marvel of technology in an IPad. It begs the questions--do I need it? Can I live without it? Can I actually LEARN how to use one!? I'm having one of those Big Birthdays this month, so maybe an new techie challenge would be good for my aging brain. At least it gives me a good excuse. And then, out of the blue, a friend slipped me a crisp one-hundred dollar bill at church last Sunday (hey! Perhaps my mentioning this will provide impetus to someone to attend church!)which immediately became the beginning of my "IPad Fund." Now, all I need is $400 more....

One of the reasons I think an IPad would be handy is that for creative writing, I absolutely depend on my computer -- an IPad would be with me wherever I go and I would be able to write when the muse strikes me. Have I convinced you yet? Stay tuned....!
