That's tech (as in: teck), not touchy. We had a good day with John today. He asked if we would help him with a few things: first in order - get his Toyota Camry set up with his information and ready for him to use the built-in nav stuff. Yes, I would have thought the dealer would have done this, but he may have told them that he would do it himself.
It took me a couple hours, mostly because he has a Google Pixel phone and he didn't know his log-in. I am an iPhone kinda guy and not even remotely fluent in Android stuff. But, after setting him up with another Google account and g-mail, I was able to get the blue tooth in his phone and car to talk to each other.
Next order of business: he uses an iPad that is old and can't be updated. Joan helped him figure out what new iPad to order.
Yeah, I should have had Joan take a photo where we weren't working on the tech stuff.
This afternoon, John drove us to another town a half hour away where he treated us to an outstanding Italian meal. In a small town in Iowa. And drove us by a place that used to be a well-known ballroom - I played there when I was in the Flippers. Starlight Ballroom, Caroll, Iowa. Reminiscing.
It has been a good couple of days. I really needed this. I have said how John was such a big influence on me growing up. He was deathly ill this winter and still isn't 100%... I wanted to fly out then, but he insisted I not do that. I did what I could from 1500 miles away, talking with his medical team. After all that, I needed to see him. Yes, he looks good; for a 90 year old guy coming back from a tough illness.
We will head out in the morning.
