Age is just a number

Today Petite Java and I had our weekly visit with her 92 pal. He lives in a residence primarily for people with memory loss. He doesn't have this at all, but lost his wife a few months ago.
I am living my own version of Tuesdays with Morrie.
I think Morrie(that's what his name will be) stays so young because he reads the paper, watches the news, and takes notes.
So today on my coolest visit ever, Morrie asked Petite Java if the bug on her purse was a twitter. He then asked me what this Twitter bug was. So I went to the library, made sure the internet was connected, and showed him the Twitter page. Next stop Facebook, followed by yahoo and a little gooogling.
We were able to find his grandson on FB(he is around my age so I thought it was worth a try). We sent him an e-mail. Next we googled his son and we were able to look at photos.
Tomorrow I am happy to report that I am going to visit again, bc his grandson friended me on FB and replied to our message.
Morrie was so excited and amazed. He is impressed with technology. Tomorrow I may set up a gmail account for him!
