Switzerland.

The Internet is amazing. What I write goes all over the
world. So I sit here at my favorite assisted living facility,
 typing on my blog, and I look around.

I look at the snoozing elders. They are 80 and 90
years old. Mr M is slumped into a soft chair,
newspaper tucked beside him. He reads it all
day, when awake. I wonder if he's ever used
a computer.

Some of the ladies ventured out into the
blasting cold wind, to walk at the gym.

I smell apples and soup. I hear the furnace, and the cook
clattering in the kitchen. The sun is shining through
the yellow leaves of the maples outside.
