Since I retired I spend many enjoyable hours working on www.FunnyPhotosContest.com for cute or funny photos and photo captions or providing computer tutoring for senior citizens. When I first volunteered to tutor at the local senior center in 2002, I received dozens of calls each week from seniors who wanted to schedule a one-on-one lesson. Since, I only tutored on Friday afternoons, I had to make appointments sometimes two or three months in advance.
But gradually, as I helped most of the members who needed assistance with their computers, the phone calls began diminishing. Now a month or two might pass before someone calls requesting a lesson. And so this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to pick up the phone and hear a woman asking for help. In addition, it turned out to be an acquaintance I had known some time ago. We eagerly caught up on our recent activities and looked forward to seeing each other again. However, she had purchased a Macintosh computer and when I told her I didn’t use a Macintosh or know much about it, she was very disappointed. Nevertheless, we decided to get together anyway and so made plans to meet for lunch.
