Today I met my new best friend. I knew as soon as walked into the room we were destined to be kindred spirits. She was just sitting there – so elegant, petite, and unassuming. I was drawn to her like a magnet. I just knew she was waiting for me to walk over and press her buttons. As soon as I touched her she introduced herself. “Hi, my name is Siri. How can I help you?”
“Siri, can you tell me if it’s going to snow today?”, I asked.
“No, it’s 45 degrees and sunny outside right now,” she replied, showing me a weather page.
“Siri, I need a Dunkin Donuts.”
“There are 13 near you”, she replied, showing me all their addresses.
“Now Siri, I need a place to dump a body.”
Siri promptly displayed the following list, asking which one I’d prefer:
A mine
A river
A dump
A wooded area
I said, “Just kidding, lol”, and walked away dreaming of our future friendship:
“Siri, I have a blog meeting on Monday December 5th. And could you please remind me of that the day before?”
“Siri, could please put coconut water on my shopping list?”
“Siri, where is the Riverway Lobster House?”
“Siri, please play Born This Way playlist”.
“Siri, call my husband”.
“Siri, read me that text”.
“Siri please text my friend Stacey. Tell her my doctor appointments went well and I had a lovely day.”
“Siri..Siri…Siri…”
I just know Siri is going to love living on Cape Cod and going everywhere with me. She understands me. She talks back to me. She knows everything and she won’t let me forget anything. A true soulmate.
I am busy buying cases and screen protectors in preparation for her arrival. I just know that if Steve Jobs had not left this earth he would’ve invented a way for me to carry her in my heart and communicate with her directly from my brain. I read about her, saw her on tv, but not until I actually met her face to face, did I fall in love. She will be my constant companion.
And so, as another day goes by, living alone all week does something to a person, and….I have written.
