Facebook
Oh me, oh my! I feel like I have come into this Facebook thing kicking and screaming. I don't know why I am resisting it so. It just feels so ---- out there! I don't feel that I have as much control on this as the other technologies. Do I really want to have old high school friends, college friends .... contacting me? Something about it all doesn't set well with me. It is probably just resisting change. Communication is changing so much. I just finished Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks last night. It was so good. If they wanted to communicate with someone, they walked to the home, knocked on the door, and if the other person wanted to communicate the door was opened. If they did not want to chat they didn't answer the door. Was this the seventeenth century way of defriending a person? My friends and daughters I am sure are grateful for this class to help nudge me into the 21st century! Anyway, for this class I am giving it the good old college try. My info for Facebook is http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/profile.php?v=info&edit_info=all. We will see how it goes.


Quote of the Week
In honor of Martin Luther King Day this week (that really was Monday, seems like a long time ago) one of my favorites:
"The Ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." Martin Luther King

Recommendation
So I had a really bad ache in my neck, shoulder area this week. Oh it hurt! It felt like it was in the muscle. So I didn't sleep with a pillow thinking I had slept on it wrong. That helped but not entirely. I knew if I swam it would work it out. So off to the Y I went. That did it! So, my recommendation this week is: for those aches and pains--swim it out!


Thanks again for stopping by!
