How Much Technology Does It Take....

...For two women to make a lunch date?

I've been enjoying the company of my friend Angela and her cutie-patootie baby Max once a week as we tour the peninsula's eateries. Today was our lunch date.

It has taken us 3 days, 4 e-mails, 5 text messages and 2 phone calls to plan. And the 2 of us are not wishy-washy when it comes to picking a place to eat since eating IS a favorite hobby we share. One makes a suggestion, the other says "Great! I'll meet you there" and the rest is history. But for some reason, this week seemed to take a lot more effort to firm up our plan.

Should it really take 3 different technologies to plan a lunch date? Seriously!!! Are we all becoming so technology dependent that we've forgotten how to do something so simple very simply? Has communicating become difficult because it's so easy?

We're a step ahead for next week. We used an old-fashioned form of communication to pick our day to meet: we had a face-to-face conversation.

Shocking, isn't it?

Until Next Time,

Kel
