TomTomTom
Yesterday worked out very well, I introduced Mom to the TomTom's menu and functions and she really liked it -- it may well be The Best Gift Ever, at least for the last couple of years of presents. We used it to navigate to a new-to-her (and me) movie theatre to see Hairspray -- which I selected on the basis of possibility of being entertaining yet Mom-acceptable.
She really liked it, much to my relief, and I found it adorable, not to mention that I really loved the music, which managed to be accurate to the era and homaging singers and songs without ripping them off, and the dancing was adorable. Plus, all the cast looked like they were having an absolute blast, especially Travolta (whom Mom didn't recognize, btw -- I had underestimated how much she hadn't heard about the movie).
Then we used the TomTom to navigate to a nearby Macaroni Grill, which wasn't the one that we've gone to before, and then home over an entirely new route.
And then I found that the cable here doesn't get the SciFi channel, so I'll have to wait on watching Eureka, but I watched most of Dirty Jobs, which had Mike Rowe walking up the cables on a hyoooge suspension bridge. I got dizzy.
And now I'm going to be off to the Shore for the family stuff -- pity the weather bids to be wet AND HOT, but the house is airconditioned. Pity we'll have about 25 relatives wedged into it, but at least I'll get to see everybody....
