I was a little suspicious of GPS technology when I first heard about it. Now, it’s becoming a standard, especially in the automotive world. Having built in GPS in case of accidents or getting stranded is a hallmark even on cheaper model cars. If I had this technology available back in the day, I would have rigged my daughter’s car with gps tracking so I could make sure she didn’t end up with that loser she’s dating.

I was watching the hockey game the other night at about three in the morning. One station has this thing where they play old games on late at night, I guess for lazy people like myself without a job. Anyway, there was an ad on there for vacations in South Carolina. I thought that was the funniest prospect ever. I once took a kid to South Carolina as a prank, and now they expect me to go there, get Hilton Head rentals, and enjoy the place? OK.

If you have been wondering, I am still going to college for the whole medical technician thing. On a daily basis, my fellow students and I prod each other with needles, show each other how to properly dispose of disposable gloves, perform basic function tests like pulse and blood pressure. Sometimes it just gets so boring, but I guess that’s a day in the life of an X-Ray medical tech.

Life insurance this and life insurance that. Every time I walk to my mailbox, it’s an offer for more life insurance. Sometimes I wonder if people want me dead, as they stick a price tag to go along with my possible death. Call me old fashioned, but I don’t care when I die or what goes where. I don’t care about my bills or credit. What will they do, hit up my son for the money? Good luck with that. The next time I get an offer for term life insurance quotes I will throw it away.

Well, my son Jimmy looks like he won’t need to go to addiction treatment. When he lived down here with me, the whole family was worried about the things he was into. Since then, he has lived at a distance and kept us all updated. It appears, at least from a glance, that he is finally getting his life together.
