I love my Dad to pieces, and I am so proud of him:)

I am so proud of my Dad.  At the age of 70, there is not a day that goes by that he does not teach me something new.  Technology in his eyes is just a part of his everyday life.  He is technology savvy, I guess in this case the apple did fall far fom the tree... it fell in aanother orchard..lol  Just one example of this is for Christmas he bought me a GPS.  When i opened it up, he was more excited than I was.  He was so anxious to "set it up" for me.  He programmed the GPS in no time and had me out all christmas morning practicing, going from one destination to the next...lol
My dad amazes me everyday.  There is not a day that goes by that I don't learn something from him.  I could go out today and buy an MP3 player, or any technology "gadget" I want , and he will have it set up in no time. 
My Dad is the President of the legion here in Dalhousie, and represents all Veterens.  This title involes many meetings and presentations, and he does all the work presentations in microsoft word or powerpoint.
I guess what I am trying to say is that were are who we are cause thats where we choose to be.  My Dad would say "if I don't keep up with technology, i will loose out on alot of things in life."

MY SON SURPRISES ME WITH TECHNOLOGY EVERYDAY!!!

Friday after work, I was sitting with my son in the living room.  We were both kinda doing our own thing, he was on his Ipod touch, and i was on my laptop.  Suddenly, my cell phone, text ring, goes off.  I look down at it and it's some number that is not familiar to me.  I guess that was what my son was waiting for, the funny look on my face.  I couldn't figure out why until I read the message, it was from him...  I still couldn't figure out how he did it.  I asked him and he told me it was a free application in the Apps store, whatever that is.  With this said, he is learning something new about technology everyday, and at a way faster pace than me.
