Ah! How I wish that girl never grows up….

Facebook reminded me of a “Nikispeak” moment from 2012 on this day. She was all of 7 years old that time. This is what the post said…

“Last night, after landing from DC, Tasha, Niki and I were having dinner together and we started naming all the NFL football teams. We started from the West going East – Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, San Diego and were already moving to Denver and Arizona, when Nikita piped up “Does San Diego have a lot of electronics?”. Tasha and I were like – “What? Why? …. Oh!” and then we were on the floor laughing….”

Good news is that Niki has not lost any of that sense of humor or feistiness.
Bad news is that San Diego will not have a football team any more…

Ergo Emoji Sum !!

There I was. Sitting down near my gate quietly in a chair watching people go by – causing no harm nor foul to anybody. Then I lifted my head to look at the blaring TV screen and Boom! it hit me! A full show going on about “Kissenger”. Apparently an app that lets you kiss somebody without they being there with you!! (http://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/kissinger)

And I shook my head thinking…

First, they gave me social media and told me that I do not need to talk to any real human being…

Then they gave me Amazon and said I really do not need to talk to anybody to buy anything.

Even in my stores, I got “Self Checkout”. Apparently there is no need for me to meet a human being to pay for my stuff.

Then I got XBox. I was told I was wrong in assuming that I need a human being to play tennis against…

Even at the airport today, the machine printed out my luggage tags. No need to greet any of their agents. I can tag the luggage myself and throw it in.

And now this? I do not even need a human being to kiss any more?

In my next birth, can I just send my emoji to this world in my place and fast forward thru this automated life?

Early morning geeky joke

Came out of the hotel early morning in Orlando and was looking to my left and right to ascertain which side would be preferable to go for a run in the dark when the parking lot building in front of the hotel that I parked my rental car last night in caught my eye.

It seemed to me that the lowest floor was for general parking. All the floors above were for computer engineers đŸ™‚
