Chasing “Yet.” Please tell me you haven’t stopped.

My son got me a Samsung tablet for my 79th birthday last month. Probably out of sympathy.  Really an amazing surprise considering he’s endured 44 years of my personality.

A question came up recently on Quora.com that intrigued me and motivated me to put the pencil to paper with a response.
