For at least a year I’ve had the app Life360 on my phone. What fun it has been! My daughters were all for it, because when they put it on their phones, they could tell whenever I left the house. They were also comfortable that I could look at their movements outside. As long as I have my phone in my pocket, they can look at a map showing me walking to the stop sign. Today I looked at my trip to town yesterday and saw my top speed was 55 miles an hour, which happens to be the speed limit for the road I was on.

One day I looked at niece Chrissie’s map and saw zig-zagging lines. I figured she was snowboarding down the mountain. She affirmed that she had been on the slopes that morning. One of these days I hope to see the map live as she is flying down the steep slope.
