From time to time I ride the bus from Jamaica Plain to Back Bay. While it’s convenient and easy, I have sometimes waited as long as 15 minutes for the next bus to arrive, depending on the time of day. The weekends are brutal.

But now, thanks to the iPhone app called Catch the Bus (and the woman at the bus stop who told me about it), I know exactly when my bus will arrive. I can store my favorite stops in this app and arrive at the bus stop just in time for the bus, thanks to Apple and GPS technology.

Now if only they had an app to make traffic disappear when I’m running late….

Please leave a comment to tell me what you Can’t Live Without!

Every year, right about now, my favorite ice cream store JP Licks starts making my favorite ice cream on the planet. This stuff is so good, it’s life changing.

I’m talking about pumpkin ice cream in a waffle cone. It tastes exactly like pumpkin pie. The spices are perfect and the texture is amazing.

Do not miss this fall favorite. This weekend, see if your favorite ice cream store carries pumpkin ice cream and indulge in an overflowing dose of my favorite treat.

Thank goodness it’s only available for about a month or I would be a pumpkin!
