Facebook

Well, kicking and screaming, I have joined the 21st Century! I have joined Facebook! I have always considered that to be a 'kid' thing, and I am no longer a 'kid', by any stretch of the imagination.

But, a friend took some video of Lori and I playing music at a benefit last Saturday. She posted it on her Facebook account. (Incidentally, she does not qualify as a 'kid' either.) I wanted to see the video, so I tried to access her Facebook account. It was a no-go. You have to belong to Facebook in order to access accounts there. So, now I have my own Facebook account. It has no 'Face' on it because I have not uploaded a picture. So I guess I have a 'faceless' Facebook account. I have already a whole bunch of 'friends'. Surprisingly, there are lots of people my age that have Facebook accounts. Most of them have 'faces' on the account as well.

I may upload a picture or two to my account...I would prefer to use Lori's picture, she is by far more attractive than am I. Or I am, whatever... Lori would not be pleased should I do that. She is even more shy that I am, about personal photographs.

I have to admit that I have already used this account advantageously. I have located a nephew, whose email address I had forgotten. He has accepted me as a friend as well. Contacting him will be easy now. I had tried so called free people directories in the past. Those would tell methe email address provided that I paid them some money. For example, 9.95/month, way too expensive for what I would receive. Facebook accounts are free, and I had the information at hand almost immediately.

Now as long as no one steal my identity, I will be doing real good! See even old dogs can learn new tricks!
