I have a 92-year-old computer student. I meet with him once a week and teach him how to connect (he has dial-up), how to read his email (not too many emails), and how to find web addresses through “the Google”.

Don’t you love that? The Google. I’m asking my friends now: “How did you find that? Through the Google?” and “Where does your site rank in the Google?”. And, if we don’t know something, I’ll say: “I guess we’ll find out, from the Google!”. If we lived in the 1950s, there would most certainly be a Google dance around the corner.

Do you do The Google?

The Google–Ha!

That’s not the only thing I like about my student. I like that he has the motivation to learn new things in his ninth decade (take note!). AND! AND, he told me the other day when I was at his house that our lesson needed to be over. He was expecting someone.

He admitted, “I’ve taken a lady-friend to dinner once or twice–and I wouldn’t let her pay.” He’s sheepish, “She’s coming over to cook me dinner.”

Oh!

OH!

My nonagenarian student HAS A DATE!

I love it. LOVE IT. When I’m in my ninth decade, I’ll reinvent myself (like Madonna), find someone half my age to teach me new things, AND…AND…I’m gonna date.
