good karms. As we make a fresh start in 2018, the GoodKarms App may be exactly what we need.

GoodKarms gives you instant access to enriching activities, such as helping paint a school, shoveling snow for a handicapped neighbor, tutoring students after school, walking dogs and more! With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, consider unique philanthropic date ideas rather than breaking the bank to wine and dine your sweetheart. All you need is love … and GoodKarms!
book
The Couple Next Door: a Novel by Shari Lapena. As a Dateline and 48 Hours aficionado, I’m always reluctant to read anything advertised as ‘suspenseful’ or ‘gripping.’ There have been too many I have figured out by page five. Not this one! The story centers on a family whose baby daughter, Cora, has been kidnapped from her crib in the middle of the night. Not everything is as it seems, and it’s up to the local police and the baby’s mother to piece it all together. Lapena certainly knows how to write a thriller. Whatever you do, read the last few pages.

In one episode, a family in Atlanta tries to figure out why people keep claiming that their Find My iPhone app indicates the family has their phone. Let’s just say human error seems to be at the root of all things. It’s interesting, and the moderators’ voices are radio perfect!
