We got married right out of high school and have been together ever since. Most things we have done together and we prefer it that way. We worked together at a private club and ran a very successful martial arts program for 15 years. Now we are trying our hand at writing books. Oh, did I mention the kids and grandkids? And there is a donkey, goat and cat too!

Butt dialing

If there is anything I hate about my phone it is butt dialing. Now I have a plain old flip phone, and I don't lock the screen or anything, but is still not an excuse for what my phone does.
So let me explain how I make a phone call. I flip it open, push a button, scroll to the right icon, push the button, scroll down to the name, push the button and then push the button again to place the call. S Read more of this blog post »
