MEMORY -
Peter loved electronics! He was a total gadgets nerd. He was most enthralled with the "toys" at Brookstone. If it made his life simpler or just made him happy, he bought it.
APPLICATION -
While waisting time at the airport, I decided to pop into Brookstone and check out their latest "toys". A few months ago, I came across a LCD doodle pad called the "Boogie Board". I didn't think doodling and writing without a purpose could be so much fun! Today I went in and played some more, still seeing if it entertained me as much as it did the first time. Well........ it sure did!!!! I splurged and made the $40 purchase!
I texted Mom and Dad a video of me writing on it. I demonstrated the smoothness of the writing tool and the quickness of the "erase button". They teased me saying it was a poor mans IPad. I wrote back with "Well, Uncle Peter would have thought it was cool" Dad responded with "Yep just like Pete".
REFLECTION -
After playing around with my new gadget, I realized that I REALLY missed the common ground that Peter and I walked on. I never knew a similar interest would create such a bond, even one as geeky as electronics.
