Have I Become a Technology Junkie?
It's been two weeks, four days, seven hours and 45 minutes since I took up more or less permanent residence... in my current residence. Yes, apparently I am counting.

At least I know where I come from…..
Since I'm still a little confused about where I am...... at loose ends without 24/7 connection to email, Facebook and on-line bill pay..... discombobulated by my new role as caregiver....

"What's happenin' Mom", the customary greeting from a son's Sunday morning call. "Oh, not much", my customary response ......when I don't really want to talk about what is going on ....when I don't want to verbalize the "what's happenin" because there's more than I can handle.
