Competition with Blogging time

It's called "joining Facebook!" Yes, I finally succumbed to the temptation of repeated invitations by various people, especially Teh Sook... so I joined up on March 30, just in time to gather a flock of friends, old-timers and recent buddies, and gave myself a wonderful cyber-reunion for my birthday last week (March 31). It is truly amazing to find people who have been absent from my life for years...including a few high school friends! Good timing on that one, since this is the year for our 40th high scbool class reunion! On the alumni list, "I once was lost, but now am found!" Amazing Grace.
So, I would estimate that in the past 9 days since joining the Facebook community, I have probably spent about 30 hours on that site, catching up with so many people all over the world. I think it will slow down a little, now, however. I am connected with almost 200 people of all ages, from various era's of my life: high school in CA, Germany days, Kaysville residence, and Korean years, plus a lot of relatives near and far. Good times! Just check in once in a while and see what everyone else is up to, and all the latest news and views with people I care about. All of a sudden, I don't feel so isolated anymore. Add FB to blogging, internet phoning and webcamming, and I may be able to endure overseas living a lot longer!
