On Tuesday Dee and I celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary. We began the day with a lunch at Sesame Inn in Station Square followed by lessons' on the Segway (a 1 person electric powered personal transportation vehicle). If you've seen the movie Mall Cop, then you know what I'm talking about. Here's Dee just prior to getting on her yellow Segway.
Our lesson was about 25 minutes long riding around in the Station square indoor mall. That was to prepare us for the "tour of Pittsburgh" on our personal vehicles as a group. However, rain prevented that from happening, so we didn't get to go outside. But what we did was fun and we learned we could do it. (The guy gave us our money back.) We walked around the mall, and I discovered that I could use the free wi-fi there to check my email. I had a message from a Bogmeister asking for the phone number of a new guy. I didn't have it, but I called my new Concierge service and they sent it via text message to my cell phone. Then I send that to the Guy who asked for the number. So Cool.
Then we went outside and the rain had stopped, but threatened throughout the next hour with nar a drop. We walked across the Smithfield Street Bridge and went into Macy's and then Saks. Afterward we walked to Market Square and had a coffee at Starbucks. That was followed by a walk to Point State Park where we sat and watched the boats in the rivers and the water fountain spray into the air.
While sitting there, I got out my new Itouch, and discovered that Pittsburgh has an free wi-fi internet service. I signed on. Then I called our new Concierge service and asked for the phone number of the Georgetown in, the address and asked them to send me the menu via email, which I can receive on the itouch. Almost instantly, It was there in my hand for the reading.
We decided to not go there, but rather, we took the subway back to Station Square and then drove to The Church Brew Works for a nice dinner and then headed home. A lot of walking, but a lot of fun. Nice Day.
This is my sister Faye in our kitchen working with her Itouch.
On Thursday my sister flew in from Philadelphia to spend a few days with my mom. I picked her up at the airport and brought her to our place. It was the first time she's been here. We had a great visit chatting, checking out Dee's place of work, and touring our new home. Then we took her to Monongahela for a couple of days with mom. Faye heads back on Sunday morning.
