Farewell Blackberry

My blackberry for work finally petered out and today was replaced by a new iphone. I was excited and nostalgic simultaneously. I still like the blackberry over the iphone for some things. I remember when I switched jobs and went from iphone back to blackberry some friends thought I was crazy - that I could go back to being iphoneless. But it’s much easier to use the blackberry with one hand while walking and with gloves on. I do sometimes miss the extra features smartphones have though too. So am happy with the upgrade.


I wasn’t expecting the turn around to happen so quickly. That I’d have the blackberry for another week so I wasn’t ready yet to say farewell. I remembered to pull off the random photos and videos. Now the camera on the blackberry is not great so I didn’t take too many pictures. But there were a few that brought back smile.

First was this fellow who I met one night after a late night working, waiting for my bus home. The Red Sox game had just gotten out and they were on their way home. He was very amiable and friendly. The Sox must have won. I had to take a picture of him because he was all blinged out. Of course the camera didn’t capture the important part. The big glowing light is the reflection off of his California license plates. I forget what the letters were but he had gotten two vanity plates that were coded for the years the Red Sox won the World Championships when he lived in California. Gotta love the Bostonians!

This next picture was from a year or so ago when I had a play date with my man Cam.  We had gone to the Science Museum just the two of us and had a blast.  I love going to children’s museums and seeing the learning and awe through their eyes.  Nothing beats it!
