Thank you, Joy. The learning curve is more difficult as we age....unfortunately not all of us have kids around. Maybe we need a "Rent a kid" service? Seriously, we all DON'T know DIFFERENT things which makes it difficult to have a class which would cover all needs. As per Shirley's suggestion, I am thinking on these things right now.

The kids learned to deal with electronics when they were in diapers. And look at their skills. You learned say to swim, ski or ride a bike as a kid and can to this day. To learn now would be another issue with likely more than skinned knees. Times like a new computer it is very handy to have kids around even if they are well past 40 they are still the kids.

I will be there on the 21st. This topic is a biggie for me....I think we need to be plugging it constantly. I even dream about it. I've noticed that there is some real denial we have to work around. Several of our members don't want to even consider their own demise I guess. Will bring some people with me I hope....and I got a new laptop. Now I have to figure out how the contraption works. Do we need a hands-on meeting on how to deal with the ever more prevalent learning curves for oldies like me who have the desire but not the natural talent.
