This is all too funny. I joined Facebook around a month ago as a way to reach this boy that I'm seeing as a patient. He loves Farm Town, so I joined FB so that I can play Farm Town with him and become a good farming neighbor. Now all the sudden I'm able to communicate with friends that I haven't heard from in years as well as communicate and share things with family in a much too modern way. After grad school, I was so sick of the computer. I wanted to go back to pen and paper and never see an Excel Spreadsheet, Word Perfect document, or Power Point presentation the rest of my life! I thought email was way too impersonal, too easy. It lacked the effort that it requires to really show someone you care enough to actually sit down, write a letter, buy a stamp and find a mail-box to mail it in. Look at me now. A blog. A Facebook page. Communicating in seconds with colleagues that are at home. What's next? Treating children with Autism while sitting in the comforts of home? Technology is scary sometimes. FB is able to tell everyone everything anyone wants to know! I'm surprised that FB wasn't able to broadcast to everyone that I was bad and ate two rolled up pancakes with blackberry jam in the middle down in the hosptial cafeteria for breakfast this morning! Come-on. If you really want to impress me FB, I want to know when I'm going to bed tonight, if the Detroit Tigers are going to choke in the 9th inning against Seattle tonight, if Lance Armstrong is going to pull a hamstring in his next race, is Michael Phelps going to take any more bong-hits? Come-on, impress me. Because if you know everyone I know and everything I'm interested in, you should be able to answer just a few simple questions, right?

And now facebook leads co-workers to your blog, which we had NO IDEA ABOUT! You really ARE a technological genius now, aren't you!!! Welcome to the 21st century - however unwillingly :) And really, they block facebook at work, but yours really is for work purposes. Bring that up at the next staff meeting :)
