Here is another patented Kerri million dollar idea. I've always said I'd love to have one "super card". It would be my ID, my credit card and you could somehow program it to be a gift card, a Subway card, a library card... even a passport and SIN number...everything. It MUST be possible... right??? Well, then it occurred to me that instead of a card, it should be a microchip implanted in one's palm. Then you just run your hand along the "palm reader". Voila. You could go for a jog... and stop for groceries on your way home. No purse or wallet required. You could never, ever, lose your information (save for some terrible accident resulting in the amputation of your hand). Isn't that the most brilliant idea you ever heard!!! My amazing husband, Alex, came up with the name for our million dollar idea. THE HIGH FIVE.
Paul: Loves it when I sit him up to look around. He thinks he's a really BIG boy now.
Finn: We've now placed her potty behind the curtain since that is where she likes to hide when she has "accidents". She seems to appreciate the privacy. What do all you toddler shrinks have to say about that???
My Dad: He loved to mash potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner. It was his goal to achieve the perfect mash... smooth, creamy, no lumps. He'd spend along time just whipping the potatoes until he was red in the face and tired. My dad loved Thanksgiving. He always insisted upon the classic meal turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and my mom's stuffing. Thanksgiving will never be the same and I'm having a little trouble getting excited for the holiday this year.

I've been thinking about the High5 idea, and I think that the hardest part of adopting it would be that companies with loyalty programs wouldn't want to share space on your chip with a competitor. So, you'd have to bite the bullet to make those reward programs exclusive to each person's chip. The upside is that, knowing they have High5 exclusivity would mean they'd offer a better rate of return on rewards.
As for Thanksgiving, I too, am going to miss Dave and those amazing potatoes. I'll make it my goal to honour his memory as best I can with my version...
The thought of having a permanent corporate-driven desecration inside your body so it's easier to push material goods...I don't know, creepy. But having one "super card" that you simply remove from your wallet or purse, maybe one for credit/debit reasons & to collect those rewards, and a second one for government ID purposes, doesn't seem like a bad idea.
