Well if speech recognition can understand my voice it's prime time. I speak like 20 miles of gravel road, and at times it's in and out. Somedays for an hour or so I speak so so, the rest of the time, I rest my voice.

I can't write, my hands (and a lot of other things) cramp badly, the one thing I can do is type very well.

So the Ipad lets me read 3 newspapers in the morning, check both our emails, and read 4 or 5 forums.

The actual 'computer' is on a desk behind my keyboard, on another level of the house.

My wife uses stumbleupon when she's watching baseball. Some other site women use, a portal of some sort that says eat raw orange pistachios from the Amazon and blueberry yogurt and you live 3.5 days longer than people with bell bottom pants. That's an alleged FACT JACK.

I eschew the nuts. I came back from a summer in Montreal in '65 with bell bottom pants and got laughed at to no end. 6 months later mine were broken in and the rest had new ones. Nice.

I'm not going to the gym. I played at a nursing home yesterday and I don't want to live an extra 3.5 days. Most of the audience were drooling and dreaming about the door code to break out and go to the ... I forget.
