Only the Good Friday
For those who work M-F, it’s obviously a potentially good day since the weekend follows. I’m mostly retired, so today I played almost exclusively. GOOD! I did a few token things for Leon, and (that sounds so awful)…
I “studied” applications for my iPhone. That sounds like work, too, doesn’t it? But it is not when you are having fun doing it. Good! As a result of this ’study’ and the resulting downloads:
- I can now tap only a few buttons and speak an address or a business name rather than type it all in. I wouldn’t recommend either driving, you then have to look to see what it thought you said and choose. Had I followed the directions to Starbucks without looking at the city it thought I said, It would have been a long five hour drive rather than just five minutes. Although, who knows what I might have discovered on the way. It is the journey that counts, right? GOOD! And gas is cheaper right? So it would have been cheaper than had I tried it last week, right? Good.
- I can now test my brain, also for free (don’t count the cost of the phone, data plan, and plan minutes, of course!). I found out how slow I am at deciding if the blank in “9 blank 8=1″ is a +, -. *, /… among other things, but then, I can always practice (again, sounds like work, except when I want to do it) I will improve! GOOD!
- I can now make my photos look different, again for free, not counting those aforementioned costs. I can make any person look horrid by one button! Good! (Shame on me for saying that, but it is Good that I can get my frustrations out by simply touching a button or two and then deleting it once my kind nature catches up, right? A lot better than mouthing off, I think. Good!
Two “enhanced” photos of days long past, results of my play, keeping with the theme:
Just the Good Old Boys
Just Good Old-fashioned Fun
and I end with my favorite chair, the GOOD one from which I sometimes work, ‘enhanced’ by my new toy application:
Somedays it is Only the Good Friday when you take time to play…..
Shelly thinks we could all play at finding good… Why not read her good and follow the links to the others that managed to focus at least part of their Friday on GOOD. It got me out of my mood that matched the gray skies down here. It will work for you!
(The tiny red dots beneath phrases indicate links….)

I love the enhancements you can do with your phone and seeing you both with your son when he was little. Somedays I wonder if I’ll be able to keep up with technology. Good, that you are having fun doing it.

I love what you did with the pictures. And, I envy that you are able to use so much technology. I’m afraid to try new things (and I won’t read up on the applications I already use). Good for you! I hope your Friday WAS good, and the next week as well!
