Who's That Guy

--and Where'd He Learn That?

Ah, Facebook. I'd heard about it, but I never expected what I found there. I'm getting to know my kids! Grown, and living on their own, my guys are busy creatures. We would sometimes go for days and even weeks without hearing a word from them. Now, I have only to log onto Facebook, and there they are!

One of my sons has a bright sense of humor and a real way with words. Amazing! He keeps us in stitches. Each one is gifted in his own way, but all three have the signature good humor.

Another benefit--we get instant news about the grandchildren, successful job hunts, the latest pictures and videos. I'm starting to like this a lot, except I tend to spend way too much time there, tapping away the minutes.

Warning: It's as if you're in a big conversation and everyone in the room can hear what you're saying. You have to be more careful what you say. Yes, that's something you pick up rather quickly. It only takes one misspeak to set off a flurry of comments. Oops!
