Tony, I have made 9 CDs since I saw you last. Lots of new ones.

Donny, not everyone on the planet owns, or even wants, an Iphone, Android, etc... My cell phone is a simple flip phone, $32 at Wally-World, allows me to make and receive telephone calls while on the boat, on the road, etc... I don't need all those special apps, etc..., that tend to consume the minds of young people. My daughter talked about buying a phone for my 6-1/2-year old grandson so he can play mindless games on the phone. I told her to save her money, and gave my grandson $800 in Time Life Nature Books - he loves them and now spends most of his leisure time learning about things that really can make a difference in his life in stead of having his brain buried in a cellular phone with apps.

Guess I'm a bit old fashioned in this regard, but yesterday I took my wife, daughter and grandson to a waterside restaurant in Havre de Grace for a mother's day dinner. Just about every young person in the restaurant had their eyes glued to the palms of their hands, which held some sort of phone or pad. The didn't communicate with each other, didn't even make eye contact with the person across the table from them. When my daughter took out her phone I just said "put it away." This summer, I intend to have both my children and grandson on the sailboat with me as much as possible. I sincerely believe they'll enjoy spending time learning how to sail down Chesapeake Bay and exploring the rivers and coves a lot more fun that staring at a tiny LED screen all day long. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so.
