Our resident senior citizen, Spenser, does not agree with the thermostat setting in the house now that it is getting colder. Anytime the heat cycles on, he can be found sitting or lying right in front of one of the vents, basking in the warm air.

I caved. I really had no intent, no interest in ever joining something like Facebook. But after several friends gently suggested it and one even vaguely hinted that I might not ever hear from her again unless I joined, I caved in. So now I am on Facebook, like half of the free world. Whoopee.
Sure, it was cool that within five minutes of joining, I had connected with a classmate from high school (well, elementary through high school) that now lives in New Zealand. And I quickly found some people from college days but I have not slogged through all the Emory alums to find those from grad school. I found two of my Ravelry friends so now we can crack each other up on two different networking sites. I even linked up with my nephew, who wonders what took me so long.
I understand that it's a convenient way to connect and communicate. But what I don't get is the what-do-you-call-it "status" updates...such as "Bruno is shopping for new shirts today" or "Belle is hiding in the closet." Sorry, folks, no one needs to know what mundane task I am doing RIGHT THIS MINUTE or what totally random thought just popped into my head. After all, isn't that what this blog is for?
So now I am on Facebook and I do enjoy writing quick quips on people's wall. We'll see how much farher I progress with it. But now will you all kindly get off my back about joining this century?
