I joined Facebook this week. I don't have a clue what to do or why I did it, but I think over time, it will become part of my routine, maybe even more than e-mail. I think it will connect me closer to people from my past and closer to my family. So, now I can go around and ask people if they're on FB and send them a request, or vice versa, to be friends.
I was listening to music from the 60s on the way to work this morning and was somewhat sorry that I would be missing my high school reunion this weekend. I'm not sure why I have this sudden urge to connect with people from my past but I do. Maybe it's an age thing. It's actually a multi-year reunion (68-69-70). I graduated from a small school in the western part of North Carolina. There were maybe 600-700 students total for all the grades, with around 125 in my graduating class (1969). By the 20th reunion (I didn't attend that one either), which seemed like only yesterday, approximately 20% of them were already dead. Not exactly good statistics. Which brings me back to FB. Seems some of my former classmates are on FB, so it probably was time for me to get with the program.
The mornings have been cooler and it's getting dark earlier. This is a definite sign...the seasons are changing. Life is still good.
