CHESSNOID

Today was another good day. My brother and his wife drove into town with my mom.  I had just seen her a couple of weeks ago, when my sister and her family came for a visit.  So much had change since then.

We went to go eat lunch together, so I already knew this would be a challenge.  But instead of focusing on the things I couldn’t change, I decided just to focus on the solution.  I ate my non-animal food at home before I met up with them.  They had decided to just go to the local Mcdonald’s.  I wasn’t hungry but looked just the same at the menu.  I realized my perception had changed dramatically.  There was only one thing I could eat if I was hungry and that would have been the walnut and apple salad which is just an apple and a few walnuts thrown in together.  Not a real meal but more like a snack. This McD’s was actually a food court so I checked out the other restaurants to see what was on the menu.  Funny thing is everything looked unappealing to me now.  What a difference a couple weeks make.

The visit was good and I enjoyed seeing my family.  My brother showed me his latest toys.  He had a dell laptop with the intel i7 chip.  It was very nice and had a built in broadband modem.  Then he showed me his latest phone which was the android x htc phone.  That toy was very impressive.  It had all the bells and whistles on it.  I checked out the 8 megapixel camera on it and took some photos, then did a quick internet search.  It was very fast.  Then my brother showed me a video call from phone to phone with some app on it but the name escapes me.  The quality was good and reminded me of the skype video calls that I made but only on a phone.  The touch screen was extremely responsive and better than the ipod touch i had with me.  Another thing I noticed is his smartphone could multitask.  It rang while I was surfing on the net and allowed him to take the call and still surf.
