 My GPS is full of BS

Columns
 

My GPS system has two settings in which to choose your route: faster or shorter. After a recent 3500 mile road trip, I discovered it also had some unofficial, hidden settings which include “Most Convoluted” and “Urban Thrill seeker.”

On the way up north, GPS and I were BFF’s. We basically followed one road for 800 miles, so neither of us worked too hard and got along well when the only instruction she gave was, “Follow the road.” I sang her navigational praises at every opportunity.

Somewhere along the LIE, our relationship took a wrong turn.

I guess I’ll never know what triggered it--was I too flirtatious with an ATM?--but suddenly I found myself on the way home to Florida by way of 42nd Street, two subway tunnels and a Chinese sloe boat along the Hudson.

Under no modern definition was midtown Manhattan during rush hour in a mini van with Sunshine State plates faster or shorter.

I expressed my concern.

“What the @#$#? Why are you taking me through Times Square????”

Hello again, 1986. Good to have you back for 16 minutes.

Tucked down in the Imagination Pavilion in Epcot where Honey, I Shrunk the Audience once played, Captain EO starring Michael Jackson has returned for a limited showing as part of Disney’s Summer Nightastic events.

Opening to the public this Friday, July 2, the show created and directed by George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola returns after a 16 year hiatus.

Nothing much has changed since the original--in fact, Disney touts that it is the original 70 mm film and not digitized. Even the sign that hangs above the entrance is the real... Continue Reading >>

Tampa hosts a Better-Than-A-Picnic


 

We here in the Bay area know what it’s like to wait for looming disaster.


With each named storm we carefully watch its projected path charging our batteries and dust off our hurricane shutters.


Waiting for the oil spill to reach our coast is sort of like that.


On Saturday, a group of local mom bloggers teamed up with Hebrew National and TheMotherhood.com for a Better-Than-A-Picnic Picnic to benefit local wildlife agencies to deal with the impending disaster.
