Last Friday I received my new gadget- a Garmin GPS for the car. At first I was reluctant to even hook it up. The thought of having to deal with another computer- new complicated instructions- a learning curve, etc. etc. was too much. But, when I took Rebecca to the airport on Friday afternoon, she brought it along and hooked it up. I think that it will be fairly user friendly, and "intuitive" as all the computer types like to say. The next day, I went to the internet and printed out the entire instrucion manual. Hey, what a racket, you have to print out your own 45 page manual. I wanted to take the manual in the car with me. The Garmin seemed to work great, but the first location that I entered from the "restauarants" menu took us to the wrong address- wrong street even. Fortunately, we knew where we were going anyway. It was just to see how it worked. I'm hoping that it will prove its worth when we drive to Seattle this summer.

Rebecca went to New Orleans this weekend. We took care of the dog and cat. Another reenforcement that I do not need any more animals!!!

I talked to the lawyer today about tht asshole who is suing me. For a change, I didn't cry on the phone so the lawyer kept saying , "you really sound better, you really sound good, etc. I almost hated to disappoint him, and wondered if I should sob a little. One day this will be over. Never , ever, ever be a president of a Home Owner's Association. Not only will you know WAY more about your neighbors than you wanted to know, but some insane asshole jerk could sue you too! No good deed goes unpunished!!!!!!
