The Coffee House

[Frank F.]

We share calendars and hers is blank....lol. she works with pen and planner, old school but she is very successful, so whatever works.

Wife and I share a calender that synchs between our phones, tablets and computers, couldn't live without. We also use a shopping lust that updates and synchs with each other.

I can't think of what I would do without it. I can't remember anything anymore because of it.

We were just talking about this last night. Was at a board meeting for our softball league and there were 6 of us planning out our preseason events and everyone was clicking away on their calendar app. One of the guys asked what we did before smartphones? Remember the color coded family calendar on the fridge? Day planners stuffed in purses? Giant desk blotter/calendars? Secretaries?

We have a master calender in the hall to know about and coordinate all family stuff private like meeting friends and official like dentist or car repair...

Calendars quit working for us, because of never being close to it when we needed to check something, or forgetting where we put it

We travel anywhere from a few days to a couple months at a time, wouldn't work for us.

We started using a GPS app, two years ago. Prior to that, the first thing I'd do in an unfamiliar area was go get a map book / road atlas. I still do - they don't need batteries or signals and make a darn good backup system.

Hmm. It's currently snowing outside.

Last week we had a couple days with highs in the 70s. Now snow.

We've had steady rain this afternoon and in the 40s. I told MLW that she needs to bring a coat, hat and gloves when we head north for Thanksgiving. We're renting a Wrangler, and if that puppy has the soft top, by golly I'm putting it down. I will leave the doors on, though.

One way to get @limr all riled up. [emoji12]

And, of course, being a cartographer, it's just a thing to do. Went out and did some field research getting correct speed limits on MD Route 381 (Google it). I had the phone on voice recorder: "50 MPH at Ashbox Road" "Down to 45 in the 20600 block." I hope I can hear myself over the sound of the wipers. I'm actually soft spoken.

RIP Roy Halladay

Sad. He was one of my favorites. I am bummed. He crashed a few miles from our condo in Florida.

He was a great pitcher! Very sad to see this on the news.

Way too many people lost in these type of accidents for my comfort level. Smallest plane I've ever been on was from Key West to Miami and that was back when I thought I was invincible. Now that I know better, I have a strict "must be big enough to have a bathroom" rule for air travel.

Hi Coffee Housers, Would you think me strange if I told you I have never had a cell phone. I do have a land line but I just don't feel the need to be that connected.
