Electronic over-inter-action...

I am not sure why, but in the last week I have joined Linkedin.com, Classmates.com and Facebook.com and already connected with various friends, relatives, former roommates and so on.Mmaybe it's the nostalgia-filled holiday season or morbid curiosity or something else, I'm not sure. Maybe I need a contrast to my college newsletter that touts all the under-40 rich and famous alumni, making me feel like a useless slacker.

I should be writing Christmas cards and doing work (at home) but no, I'm obsessively trying to think of names of folks from grade school, just to see if they are virtually out there. Strange. But kind of fun, or there would not be millions of folks doing it, I guess. Still not sure how it's better than email or a blog but I guess it is the coordination and networking they do for you.

Soon to update my woefully ignored houseblog, too.
