My New Toy

I finally took the plunge today and bought a smart phone.  Not that I wanted to, mind you.  But, my Palm Pilot bit the dust some months ago, and my cellular service came up for a contract renewal.  Frankly, I am a bit bowled over by the changes in technology.  Sooner or later, though, I figure I'd better decide to cooperate with it, or I'd be stuck with a paper calendar in my purse forever.  So, I am now the proud owner of an iPhone.  I spent most of the afternoon just figuring out how to make a call and send a text.  I have a headache.

Super Bowl

This was an interesting Super Bowl Sunday.  I am happy the Giants won, not because I watched the game, but because that's who the Hubs was rooting for.  Knowing I would be going to bed early, I didn't even turn the game on.  The Hubs went to a neighbor's, where he could watch it in the garage while they shared cigars.  Of course, I had to follow a Super Bowl tradition and made a big pot of chili for dinner before he left.  We only ate about half of it, so the rest is in the freezer, just waiting for the next time he doesn't feel like cooking.

A Marshall for the Seniors

I was happy to volunteer my services for the Senior Open that will be played at Indianwood Country Club this July.  I was hoping for a nice job, but got the pleasant surprise this week that I am going to be a marshall.  I don't know my exact assignment yet, but how bad can it be?  I will likely be on the course with the players.  Pretty neat!
