The Gardner family just added about a dozen cords, gadgets and gizmos to its wireless lifestyle.
We’re running out of outlets.
My aunt Sandy and Grandpa stayed with us last night as their last stop driving cross country from Vegas to Michigan. Sandy, who found gainful employment at the Apple store during her half-year residence in Sin City, believes, at the very core of her being, that Apple products are the modern equivalent of the wheel. She came bearing gifts, bless her sleekly modern and functional heart.
We have our first iPod. It’s just lovely. She apologized for only providing us 1 gig of power. Steve kind of summed it up with, “That’s 1 gig more than we had yesterday.”
She also got us creature speakers, which are so well-shaped some might consider them art-like. Definitely better than the boom box I won at a Christmas party in 1999 that has been satisfactorily, if not attractively, meeting our musical needs.
Who am I kidding. NPR and Rush Limbaugh are the only things coming out of those aging speakers.
Apple does make and sell elegant products.
The visit was nice, if for the mere fact that adults have more to say than 2 year olds. Or probably, they’re just able to say more.
Either way. And we had fun showing off the girls to some family.
