 A reader inquired about purchasing his first smartphone. Actually, two of them. He and his wife have relied on a landline and a flip phone, but the landline is going away, and so are they, for a vacation in Europe. They need a smartphone to receive notices from their airline, government travel advisories and to remain in touch with relatives back home. 
A document detailing our health care expenditures just arrived in the mail. “Shocking,” I said. “You mean the cost of health care?” the husband asked. “No — documentation that we are officially fixer-uppers.” There it was, right before our eyes. Three months of physical therapy for a back injury from crawling into the far back of an SUV to retrieve a coffee cup. Can somebody use my identity without my written consent or the written consent from my authorized representative? In Illinois, with certain exceptions, no sir.

Each spring, many of us get very excited about the abundant harvest we're going to enjoy from our vegetable gardens. We plan, then plant. We weed and water.
