Digital evolution

Aaa, Sunday morning, people used to read newspaper over breakfast, or like Jack and I, bouncing interesting ideas off of each other over coffee. And now what do we do? Each of us having an iPad and separately dwelling deep into the cyber space. I really miss the good old days.

Perhaps more new restaurants, or yoga studios.

We yearn for politicians who take ownership and responsibility for the country over power and individual gain!
