A Chuckle – Alexa Silver
Do you have an Alexa? In case you aren’t sure what Alexa is, we will try to clarify. Alexa is an AI device made and sold by Amazon which is wireless and can respond to requests for information or commands such as “Alexa play Frank Sinatra music” at which point Alexa will pull songs by Frank Sinatra from the internet and in seconds your room will be filled with the lyrical sounds of “Ol’ Blue Eyes”. This is basically what Siri does on your phone. Today we have a look at a spoof about an Alexa for seniors. Do not try this at home!

Wise Words – Be Still
There has been plenty in the news these past few days that has brought anxiety and tension at the prospect that there could be a new encounter of war in the Middle East. The idea of war, or even potential war or short term conflict, can shake the steadiest person. Even the stock market seemed to falter for a bit at the uncertainty of what might lie ahead. So these words we offer today are a remedy to any situation for us, your Two Chums and ones we rely on often…but truth be told, probably not often enough.
