A few weeks back, I was driving home with a fellow bandmate, who, as it turns out, is as bad with direction as I am. While we were turning a 4 hour drive into a 4 and a half hour drive–lost… again–I decided it was time to get proactive about my directional deficiencies. So when I woke the following morning (actually much closer to afternoon), I hopped online and bought a GPS.
The Garmin i5 might be the best $340 I’ve ever spent… It came set up and ready to go right out of the box. I’ve since used it to navigate just about everywhere, actually going out of my way to stump it… and every time, it gets me home. The little lady clearly and eloquently reveals the correct route, in a lovely British accent (hell yeah… on purpose ;) ), just in the nick of time… seemingly every time. She’s very understanding and patient with me. She never yells or tires of coming up with an alternate route when I wander… no, she seems to understand me and like me… just the way I am.
I can’t tell you how liberating this is! So to all my directionally dysfunctional brethren, I implore you… buy one of these and be lost no more!

GPS swankliness aside…what’s this with “bandmate”?
Are you once again subscribing to the formal rigeurs of a “band”?
Do tell. Inquiring minds want to know.
