Musings from Karen and Charlie: NY TIMES - GOOGLE CARDBOARD and other things I learned this week, what did you learn?

I am enrolled in a University of British Columbia Writing/Grammar Course, a suggestion is to read the NY Times!

You may get a different perspective of how sentences are formed, punctuation, and other grammatical

ways that real writers use.

However, I was not aware of how much a copy of the paper cost. Yes you are seeing correctly I paid $9.82 for the Sunday NY Times.

Secretly, I only wanted the crossword puzzle to try, but I won't let my professor know that. Wish me luck.

On Friday, I was in the Willowbrook Mall, Langley, BC this kiosk caught my eye. I had never heard of Google Cardboard. As we all should learn something knew, I talked with the person running it. You input your cell phone into a cardboard thing, and watch whatever. It is the modern day version of a ViewMaster we used in the olden days. This kid even has 3 original ViewMasters at home!

My inspirational Goddaughter/Niece Sarah (second from the left) is an officer aboard the Stad Amsterdam currently sailing in Europe, she sent this picture. So proud of her. This is a Tall Ship where they accept passengers. If anyone wants to send me aboard the ship let me know. They are going to be crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a few months, WOW would Auntie like to be with her on that crossing. I have $42.90 in my fund already. At least I can dream.

MEMORY recall, this is me, and my dear friend Chuck. He took me for 2 race laps around Pacific International Raceway. Chuck and his lovely wife Pam, had done a South American Rally in this vehicle in 2013 and won.
