g mail and face book.

New brain cells are forming as we speak.

Ok, gmail is a fascinating thing, It will take anyone who you have
had any correspondence with and save their email address in your
contacts folder. Which can be good or bad. There are addresses in
there that I have no recollection of ever contacting. I took most of
those out of my list. So whenever someone doesn't know who I am
they can email me and then I will take them off. However, It will
save the address again and we may have a continuing problem.
I am also trying to put people in groups so that if I send out an
announcement about some get together in Wisconsin and they live in Arizona, ( Sorry
Glen ) they wont need to feel obligated to be there or left out.
Unless you're the type of person that likes to know what other people
are doing far far away, then I would say you have way too much time on
your hands.
The Internet is awesome, and for an old person, It may surprise you to
know, I kinda like all this techno stuff, my kids have taught me
enough to make me dangerous, but they still sigh when I tell them I
cant get something to open, like my media player got all hung up on
itself and wouldn't respond. (That was Mikeys techno lingo.) I am
still wondering how it could have such an attitude.

Sometime soon I am going to comprise my Christmas letter, and attach my
pictures, I am also going to put one on facebook. Although I havent
quite figured out how to do that, I am sure with much low moaning one
of my children will assist me. For those of you who haven't been
exposed to facebook yet, let me tell you, its no small thing. It is
even more amazing at sucking you in, than the garden variety email. I
signed up and immediately it took everyones addresses and let them know
I am now on facebook and invited all to be in the special facebook
club. I feel so popular because it is always letting me know about
people who I might or might not know and suggesting I invite them to
be my friend. Its like having your very own social director. Then I
started to get into virtual snowball fights and planting trees all
over cyberspace and going to parties. It was incredible ! All from
the comfort of my swivel office chair. I never even have to say hi in
person any more. If my face book gremlin gets to anyone first and invites them to do
something green with me, delete it, quick, I didn't do it I promise.
