I'm the map!

W got a laptop with his tax return. It's coming in today. It's like Christmas for him. I won't be home tonight because I'm meeting friends which is just as well since he'll be enthralled by his new toy.

I claimed I was going to put it all into the savings. Then W said the magic words "you should get a GPS". What a brilliant idea. Especially after my episode last August where I got lost in Boston 3 times!!! I now want to go back to the building and start from there. 

I got a Garmin and made sure that it speaks the street names. No guessing here. I can't change the voice but it's pleasant enough. I haven't had the chance to use it in a real situation yet but I'm going into Boston tomorrow so I'll let you know how it turns out. 

Most likely, it will be a building that's right next to the pike so there will be no confusion on my part or need for the GPS.

Such is life.
