CALENDAR PROBLEMS

If you have scheduled a private session and I did not show up.(it only happened once that I know of). I am blaming GOOGLE! Yes, I have been trying to automate and use an electronic calendar that allows me to schedule on my phone and on line! It also allows you to see my availability and while there are some glitches it does seem to work for the most part so I am trying to get past the learning curve. please be patient and if I am not there when I am supposed to be call or email ahead just to confirm and I am trying to do the same!
