'Older Canadians are embracing social media'
News? And they needed a poll. We're the ones who have integrated technology in our jobs from when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
In my husband's day, they thought that 3 employees could share a computer. Honest.
I digress...
Grandparents have picked up on the advantages of social media, and are keeping in touch with family, at the very least. I like trolling for news on Twitter, then reading the full stories with my morning coffee. I like weighing in on political issues. I figure I've seen it all, as an educator in multi-cultural schools, having taught refugees like the Vietnamese Boat People, Gulf War, and many special needs students. Myself, being divorced, as a single parent, feminist, remarried mother of 3, grandmother of 2, it gives one a particular perspective.
The joys of being retired means that we can go out on a Tuesday night, I can play with technology, and I can post photos the next day.

| Keith Glass really knows how to play! |
Keith Glass, with a recording studio in Perth, Ontario, was the perfect fit to replace the regular Tuesday man – Brock Zeman, who is on tour! Keith has mentored Brock, another Lanark County musician.
We like supporting local folks, whether they be artisans, farmers, business owners or musicians!
I quite enjoy O'Reilly's pub. When we first moved here, our silverware was left back in Muskoka. We were eating out, many times at the pub –several weeks in a row, for some fine salads, and entertainment!

Steve and Sue Tennant organize these concerts. This month's 'house party' was at the pub, where Steve could celebrate his birthday.

You are making your town look most inviting.... I might consider a retirement there!
I had a patient who was in her 80s when she got her first computer - long before I did! - and although she relied on her SIL for techie troubleshooting, she used it voraciously. She would look up any new health issue she had, she would look up on the computer and became very well informed.
Grandparents rock!
I think it's time to completely retire the notion that seniors are dinosaurs as far as technology is concerned.
I'm glad that you are able to support your local musicians.
Jenn: Looks like you had a neat time with your friends.
Bring on the data! Who is surprised? The seniors of the young 'uns who have to share their computers? Yeesh. Awesome post.
