Smart Phone Part II

You know those presents you buy someone that you really want for yourself?  Come on we all have at least been tempted to buy our spouses something we really want for ourselves.  This past Christmas I heard of an almost unbelievable one.  A guy from my home town back in Saskatchewan bought his Mexican wife an ice fishing shack for Christmas for their first Christmas together.  Why would a Mexican women new to Saskatchewan want an ice fishing shack for Christmas?  If this guy didn’t sleep on the couch for all of January there is no justice.

The smart phone was about the smartest gift I ever got my wife for Christmas.  Even though, she was quick to point out that the present really was something that I would want (more than her).  But after only a couple days it would have been hard to convince her to return it.  I wouldn’t call my wife tech savvy but she does ok.  However, I would have never guessed she would latch onto her I-Phone like she has.  In the SUNY class this past weekend, when Eric said he sleeps with his I-phone I understood what he meant.  The I-Phone is the last thing my wife looks at before she falls asleep and the first thing she looks at when she wakes up.  She is addicted to it.  She is learning more things to do with it all the time.  Like the translate app.  On the weekend we were looking for something in a store.  We just showed the store attended the translated message in Mandarin via the I-Phone and we communicated!
