Technically Challenged My grandma has never really played catch-up with the recent technology, but a few years back we managed to get her a cell-phone. To this day, every time her cell-phone rings in the room she’s in she gets startled and wonders what it is. But every time, WITHOUT fail, when a phone rings on a TV program or a film she starts looking for the phone.

Thinking Out LOUD After Words Imagine reaching the age of 99 with few physical ailments and all your wits about you. Well, someone I know did. First, she was my friend’s mother and my mother’s friend — and then, as we both got older and age was more relative, we became friends, too. She found me amusing, I found her wise, and when she was widowed, we talked a lot about what happens when we die. “You’ll be surprised,” I’d tell her, smiling. “I hope so,” she’d say, smiling back — but I never won her over. She believed in the here and now far more than the hereafter, which is probably why she invested so richly in each day’s simple blessings. Recently, my 99-year-old friend died, but it seems that just before she left, she asked that her hair be combed and her bedclothes straightened. Then she asked for a hanky to tuck in the sleeve of her nightgown.

“It’s as if she were getting ready to go somewhere,” someone said. “She was,” I thought, smiling.” Safe journey, my friend.

Horoscope Taurus 4/20 – 5/20

Weekly Overview (Week starting on April 18) Monday and Tuesday are beset by all-consuming passion. It isn’t a fun sort of passion -- not artistic or musical or anything like that -- it’s emotional. The outside world is almost distorted by the strength of your feelings. You go into Wednesday and Thursday understandably wary of other people. The key is to not let that wariness transform into what may appear as righteousness. That’s no way to charm someone.

Friday and Saturday, something that’s dogged your understanding for a while suddenly makes sense. Until Sunday, that is. Nothing makes sense on Sunday.

URGENT! Volunteer Dialysis Drivers Needed NOW!!! Canton residents who need dialysis are very fortunate to have volunteers who are able to drive them to and from their life-saving treatments.

These people are dependent upon the good hearts of volunteers who drive once a week or more if they can. The rides are coordinated by Pat Swan, the Dialysis Transportation Volunteer Coordinator. Right now there is a critical need for drivers on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays to transport an elderly woman from Canton to UCONN Medical. All mileage for drivers is considered a tax-deductible charitable contribution. Please call Pat at 860-693-8619 if you can help.

Technically Challenged My dad recently got a Facebook and was so amazed by it, he made a profile for our dog. The dog adds all my friends and comments on everything in “dogspeak”. My dad thinks it would seem creepy to have people find out that it’s a 50 year-old man controlling the dog, so he tells everyone it’s me. Now everyone I know thinks I’m writing, “woof-woof bow-wow kitties die!” on their walls. Thanks dad. Christina

Bible Tips

Fish Stories.

If you’d prefer fish stories instead of phish stories to tell your computer-logged grandchildren, it’s not too late to learn fly fishing. UpCountry Sportfishing in New Hartford will hook you up. For about $150-$175 you can get professional instruction that will have you talking about the big ones that got away within a few hours. All the equipment is provided. For great advice on buying your own equipment, where the big ones are on the Farmington, (widely considered one of the best “small water” trout streams in the US), hang around the shop for a while and talk to Grady and his mom.

Experience the fragrant essence of the Almalfi Coast! The intensely fragrant peels are steeped in the finest Italian spirit and sugar, crafting a Limoncello with fresh and pure flavors.

Try a chilled glass after dinner.

Made from lemons sourced from Italy’s Amalfi Coast, which have very few seeds, minimizing the bitterness, while the pulp is so rich with flavor. The lemons are fermented and steeped in a mixture of sugar and alcohol for at least 20 days.

Serve chilled before a meal or as a light, refreshing after dinner beverage.
