My son, who is stationed in Korea, will be representing his unit
in DC. I’m super excited that I’ll be able to visit with him before
he returns to Korea.

A Recipe Card Granny in a CD ROM World
I used to be organized—really organized. Everything under control. My favorite
recipes on 3x5 cards neatly categorized and alphabetized in a pretty box on my
kitchen counter. My Christmas card list on 3x5 cards—names, addresses, and
columns to check off “year”, “sent”, and “received”--in another decorated box on
my desk. My address/telephone information in a small 3-ring binder with easily-
replaceable pages to keep it up to date.
And then my life changed. I got a desk top computer. It doesn't like me. The
feeling is mutual.
My son and grandchildren, who have never known a world without computers,
begged me to put all my precious information into the computer and back it up
on a CD or something called a “thumb drive”. Really? Formerly, if I wanted to
look up a recipe, all I had to do was pull out the recipe card from the box on
the kitchen counter and lay it out there in plain sight so I could easily refer to
it. My computer is not in my kitchen. I now have to go into the back bedroom,
where the computer lives, fire it up, click on Documents, click on Recipes, find
the right one and click on it, then print it out so I can have the information at my
fingertips in the kitchen.
Why? How can that save time and effort ? And I'm not even counting the time
and effort to type all that information (enter data) in the first place. Ditto the
Christmas card list (I still hand-address cards to friends and family that I don’t
see regularly). My address/telephone book fits in my purse and can be taken
with me when I travel so I can contact people if I choose. And, no, I don't and
won't own a “smart phone”. It's smarter than me. All those apps and buttons
just confuse me.
My son and grandchildren call me an “old fogie”. So be it. My world is a lot
simpler. I like it that way.
I think I'll go out and buy an extra supply of 3x5 recipe cards, just in case
the “powers that be” decide to stop making them because nobody uses them
anymore.

Lunch
Jack Benny and George Burns met as young performers on the vaudeville circuit
and remained friends for life.
One day at lunch, Benny wrestled with the problem of whether or not to butter his
bread.
"I like butter on my bread," he said. "But my diet strictly forbids butter. Maybe I
should call Mary and ask her what to do."
"Jack," Burns said, "don't be ridiculous. You're a grown man. You should be able
to decide, without your wife's help, whether or not to butter your own bread."
"You're right," Benny said. "I'll just have the butter, that's all."
When the waiter arrived with the check, Burns pointed to Benny and said, “He's
paying."
"What?" Benny said. "Why should I have to pay the whole bill?"
"Because if you don't," Burns said, "I'll tell Mary about the butter."
