Have I mentioned that I am a technophobe? That isn’t exactly right, because I have been more of a techno-avoider. Turns out that isn’t exactly right either. Look at this list of items I have to mess with and recharge:
- cell phone (albeit quite outdated)
- computer (definitely outdated – it has USB ports #1 instead of #2, for Pete’s sake!)
- not one, but TWO digital cameras!
- a Garmin Forerunner (how else will I know all the miles I am walking??)
- an iPod (not mine)
- Telephones in the house that show who is calling
My explanation for #5 is this: Michael requested the simplest one for his birthday in 2009 (13 months ago) and has NEVER ONCE used it! Monday I had to walk 9 miles without my training partner, and the iPod was a real treat! It is difficult to find music that is the right tempo for my pace, but it was very fun anyway. What else did I do while walking? I thought about the secret giant project that has a tight deadline! Want a hint? Sorry, not yet! 😎 More will be revealed. . . meanwhile, look at this wall full of incomplete paintings and puzzle over why I am walking 9 miles instead of painting 24/7. The first person to tell me the correct reason will receive a small prize.

I hear you. What I liked about going to the cabin was NO electricity, hence, no answering machine, no recharge the cell phone (which did not work there anyway, so no loss), no television. I back track on the television … dad did have one hooked to two 12-volt batteries. Only station received was one in San Louis Obispo … but only on a clear day!
