Starting Point

This is definitely a learning experience. I keep eliminating what I have written and having to start over again. Technology 101 for the elderly and challenged. Maybe also something new to keep my mind alive.

My very first blog. Wow! Will I really have anything to say, anything to share? I'm not truly sure. Since my life doesn't follow maps and directions, I don't quite know where this is going. I will simply be talking about my home, friends, family, pets, and interests. If I'm lucky I may connect with other ladies of a certain age. In any case, I'm hoping it will give my friends and family a chance to catch up with me at their leisure. I'm also hoping it will get me back into the habit of writing, of putting my thoughts to screen, if not actually to paper.

Alex and I are planning to attend a celebration of the 60th anniversary of his fraternity chapter at San Diego State. The November event will be at the Holiday Inn On The Bay in San Diego. There is a website where you can make dinner reservations, hotel reservations and whatever. One little problem. The hotel link on the website takes you to Holiday Inn Bayside -- several blocks from the hotel where the event will take place. We called and E-mailed to tell them that the link is incorrect. "No, no." they replied "Holiday Inn Bayside and On the Bay are the same thing." We answered that they are not, and if they will check the address for the hotel the link takes you to, they will find that it is several miles from the event hotel. (We called the event hotel to make sure that it was, in fact, the correct one and that there are two hotels with similar names.) As far as we can tell, they think we are senile old geezers (true) and we don't know what we are talking about (we do, for a change). We figure they won't make the changes, and half of the out-of-town attendees will be staying 41 blocks from the dinner. In a case like this is it wrong to say "We tolja so?"
