I leave for Florida next week, and the hotel does not have a computer in the lobby. So, once again I am looking at PDAs. I bought one for the trip I took to visit my daughter in Flagstaff over Thanksgiving but returned it when even the cingular store couldn’t get it to work. I just used her laptop every morning, but I am going alone this year and with no laptop. I need a new phone, anyway, and my contract just expired. I have been living without a camera phone, and that’s just wrong. I would like to have music, but the one or two I’ve found don’t have that feature. The sales guy on the phone said he had a Mototola Q and loved it, but their stock has been struggling so I’m not sure what that says about the Q. The IPhone will probably be fantastic but I need one now. If any of you use a PDA with a querty keyboard and it has a pretty good-sized screen and the reception is good, let me know.
I have been giving my friend a bellydance lesson every Tues night. Right after Sam feeds me dinner. I took him out once and will do that again. They live near each other, and he lives right by the hospital, so it works out great. But he went out on a blind date Sat night so that may end. I’m just hoping the woman he ends up with lets me talk to him on the phone about stocks. It has been SO nice to chat with him every day about what our stocks did. He’s read a lot about the market over the years and does it all by himself now. We have almost exactly the same amount of money invested and it’s odd but we don’t have any of the same stocks. We did share one but he sold it. I probably should have, too.

I have an iPaq with an add on keyboard that works great, and connects to wireless everywhere.
I once talked to a guy on the train who has internet connection but the train does not provide internet. He said he used a card from wireless telephone company. He said he could use wireless internet anywhere he can use his cell phone. Bellydancing lessons, ooh, you are so talented.
My phone isn’t fancy and it almost always is somewhere else when I need it!! Can you tell I don’t care if I’m connected or not?? Let’s here more about dancing with Rudy and these dinners with Sam, you tease you..marilyn
Don’t know anything to help, sorry. As plugged in as I am at home, I like to unplug when I leave. Good for the soul… but maybe not for the pocketbook for you. Interesting that you are having regular dinners with Sam, dancing with Rudy… Do you wonder? Maybe THIS is what you really want, rather than the “more” we think we’re supposed to want? Because you keep finding this. Likewise, I keep finding men that are unavailable for one reason or another… So again I’m talking to myself.
ryc: good question – I tried to limit the “present” in the story to the moment at/in the building, thus making the start of the event “past” – not sure it works, or if I constructed it well, but I wanted to try. I’ll re-read after sleep.
I’m dying to take bellydancing. We have someone who teaches here and I’ve been to chicken.
ryc (2): probably not. It’s not like anyone is rushing to publish my stuff. But in some ways, that offers more freedom to play.
Good lord where have I been? I am catching right now. I won’t comment yet because I know it’s be all wrong!
