A word about my blog .....

I'm using this blog to keep notes on my life and experiences, plus to keep track of my own recovery from a stroke (December 2006).

For those of you who were not aware, my brother, John, died on February 10, 2010. His remains were cremated and interred at Green Hills Memorial Park.

0218 my facebook challenge .... is over!

Finally! My self-imposed 30-day exile from Facebook is over and I can now go into it. Or, I can try to go another 30-days. Let me think about it ...

Okay, I thought about it. It may be a good test, but I’m not ready for it yet. I miss Facebook because it kept me connected with friends that I otherwise don’t see because of distance. Many of my high school friends, my college friends, and my skiing friends are living in other states and in other countries.

The Internet is a wonderful tool to make these connections and I cherish each of the contacts because I’ve found that I thought I’d never see or hear from them again. And while we may never see each other face-to-face, we can still keep in touch across the miles.

It’s great.

thank goodness!! I've missed you on Facebook Jim. I'm lazy, so I really like having ONE place to update everyone who cares to be updated, and vice versa with me keeping up with those I want to keep up with.

I've missed all those daily notifications of the various things you fling at me....hmmm....well, maybe not as much this stuff.

Sooo? What changed as a result of being away from FB?
