#18 Yikes Skypes!

Goal # 27, Skype children sixty times--done! I will admit this was one of the easier goals to complete--they all couldn't be mind expanding, soul searching, or physically challenging activities as I venture into my new decade. Skyping (is that a new word?) my children seemed like the perfect complement to some of the other grueling, I mean, ambitous tasks.

With this technological wonder of the 21st century I was able to comment on Maggie's new California haircut and visually communicate with Aaron and Gillian while they were living in a foreign country. Unfortunately, David does not have internet access or cell phone service for that matter--he is living the 19th century life--so he wasn't a skyper (could this be yet another new word in my ever expanding vocabulary?).

It amazes me that in just sixty years, I have gone from watching black and white TV to seeing and conversing with my children on a computer screen as they sit in their homes thousands of miles away. Doesn't it make you wonder what the next sixty years will bring to our lives? I envision a body traveling through the internet; so instead of commenting on Maggie's haircut, I could actually cut it for her myself. Yikes, skypes! Now that, my friends, is a scary scenario on all accounts!
