Not too long ago I got my first real massage.
Ok guys, get all the stupid "Lucky Lotus Massage Parlor" and "Happy Ending" jokes out of your system. I'll wait.
Finished? Good.
I got my massage from a licensed massage therapist, a trained and highly skilled professional who has spent years studying and perfecting her craft. She is a very nice woman, who just recently opened up "Seek Within," a tasteful and spiritually restful storefront business almost directly across the street from our house. She is also a practicing nurse.
Ok guys, get all the stupid "Naughty Nurse" jokes out of your system. I'll wait.
Finished? Good.

Last week I wrote about my experience with GPS technology. Well, I heard from quite a few readers who had similar stories to share, along with one person who wanted to inform me that GPS does not stand for "Going Pathetically Slow. It seems the device is actually named in honor of Gwendolyn Peabody Snuffbox, who was a key member of a research team responsible for developing something they liked to call a "global positioning system."
I stand corrected.
I also received this comment:
I enjoyed reading about your experience with the GPS, but I have to say that it serves you right. Why can't you just navigate the old fashioned way – with MapQuest?

Hey, news flash! I have a GPS in my cell phone!
Now, my guess is that your response to that opening will pretty much sort you out by age. If you are under about thirty, it was probably, "Well, duh!" If you are anywhere between thirty and fifty, the chances are you said to yourself, "Interesting. Maybe mine does too. I think I'll go check." And if you're around my age, over fifty, you probably were thinking something like, "Geeze, I don't remember applesauce giving me so much gas!"
For those of you who are not real familiar with this bit of twenty-first century technology, a GPS is a device that can show you exactly where you are on the planet. And, if you let it know where you want to go, it can tell you how to get there. Kind of like a map, only it makes an odd sort of "crunching" sound if you fold it up wrong.
