There’s much new technology around. Some significant opportunities. But I’m not through researching them. It’s hard to get up at 3:00 AM on both Saturday and Sunday to watch the men’s and women’s Australian Open tennis finals.
If you don’t have an iPhone 4S yet, try downloading Evi (99 cents) from Apple’s Appstore. It’s not Siri, but it’s better than a slap in the belly with a cold fish.
Totally silly (but also very sad). Italian Cruise ship captain Francesco Schettino began his new job as a bus driver yesterday…..
So, where are my keys?
Several days ago as I left a meeting at our church, I desperately gave myself a personal TSA pat down. I was looking for my keys. They were not in my pockets or purse. A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing.
Suddenly I realized, I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot. My husband, David, has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition. My theory is the ignition is the best place to keep them. His theory is that the car will be stolen. As I burst through the doors of the church, I came to a terrifying conclusion. His theory was right. The parking lot was empty.
I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, confessed I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen.
Then I made the most difficult call of all, “Honey,” I stammered. I always call him “honey” in times like these. “I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.”
There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard David’s voice. “Betty” he barked, “I dropped you off!”
Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, “Well, come and get me.”
David retorted, “I will, as soon as I convince this nice policeman I have not stolen your car.”
Harry Newton who visited a sports therapist on Friday for his hurting Achilles Tendon and limited-motion rotator cuff — both tennis injuries.The man hit it with an $8,000 cold laser machine (more on that later) and a collection of must-do stretching exercises, which I’ve been doing. See you tomorrow.
Harry, please slow down with the tennis — after 60 it's all damage control. Very much enjoy your views on finance.
