You are all helping me understand - and glad I'm not alone. I love that I feel I need to state that I am smart, it isn't that this is all above me. Like I need you all to believe that. I feel like that dinosaur who says - no new technologies, I'm done learning new things. Seriously, when did I become my father?

When my older brother showed off his 'smart phone', I realized that the PhD in the family shouldn't have the 'dumb phone', so maybe I should pay more attention. Plus, I do really love gadgets, so it makes me laugh that I keep refusing to pay attention to the smart phones and apps and such. And of course every year will be THE YEAR I finally get myself back into shape. So I love hearing about the apps that folks use for exercising and tracking food. In fact just emailed some to my brother, as the whole getting in shape things seems to be a family-wide goal this year.
