Techno Nanna

Okay, okay...so I don't get all this new stuff! But I'm struggling away with my shiny new i-pod, enjoying all my music in one little box! Wow! Who knew? I'm old enough to remember my dad and mom proudly showing off the new 13 "(? maybe even smaller!)TV in 1949. We watched stuff like wrestling, roller derby and the Schlitz Saturday Night Theatre, an all time favorite of mine. It was years later when I moved to Fairfield Court and met Sally Reuter, my neighbor across the street, that I realized I had been watching HER as she emceed the movie program that we all enjoyed. People would be invited over to watch TV...and nobody talked! You'd just sit there politely as if you were at a play or a concert. Now...I can listen to my i-pod in the middle of a crowd and mostly people won't care. (I still think that's kind of rude!) Anyhow...all my cds have disappeared to new homes and my son-in-law Dan has transposed (is that the word?) my goofy car songs so that I can share them with the grandchildren when we ride along to some exciting experience. Of course, first I have to figure out how to use the fancy car attachment. Dan and Tim (my sixteen year old ubersmart grandson) have been on call as I fumble through this new technology. Good Grief! If I should get a new computer, I'll have to upgrade to yet another new system. The worst thing about being 73 is seeing the world whiz by and trying to catch a ride! But never fear - I'm game for the adventure.
