Modern-day life, at least for the seniors among us, is complicated, confusing, and frustrating. Last week when I sat down to type Dorothy’s Place, I discovered that AT&T and my computer were having an argument.
Actually I didn’t discover that, I just discovered that I couldn’t go into my computer. Any glitch with my compuiter makes for an immediate phone call to my heart-son Rick. He was the one who was able to discover the problem. For once I was not the problem.
He discovered it, AT&T and Yahoo fixed it in a couple of days. I was back in business, but not ’til after D’s Place was due. Our dear editor Terry came to my rescue. He went to his files and pulled up one I had previously written. If you read it, you know it was about igniting memories. Well that column ignited a few memories for me so I had to listen to my 50’s CDs and have another glass of wine. I enjoyed that. I may plan another glitch soon.
Speaking of enjoying, are you old enough to remember George BurnsA!X Then I have got something for you. For now it is a Save the Date and well worth the save. Pull out your new 2014 calendar and open to February. Now mark the 19th because on Wednesday, February 19th, George Burns is coming to the Arcadia Public Library.
Trust me. It is true. I’ll fill you in on the details later. Meanwhile, I’ve marked my calendar so hope you will too.
‘Til next week, remember what George Burns said, “You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old.”
