Virtues of the Internet, Part Deux...and other stuff

For some reason, I got the hair-brained idea of cleaning out my e-mail in-box the other day. I have a really bad habit of hanging on to messages after I've replied to them or saved their attachments...kind of a genetic disfunction I think I acquired from my mother, I guess.

Anyway, I realized that almost ALL of the people that I correspond with regularly have known me for at least thirty years. Yes, I said 'thirty', as in a whopping-long-time. Most of these people (and you know who you are!) would be lost to oblivion without 'the web' - who writes letters anymore, really? When was the last time you got a five-pager from your best friend from high school, complete with photographs? Yeah, that's what I thought...you can't remember, either. Get with the program, Mr. McCain!

I've added some goodies to the page, as you may have noticed. I urge you to check out the Cakewrecks blog when you have a chance, preferrably when you aren't at work so you don't get caught laughing out loud. Pretty funny stuff, there. You'll have to let me know about the photo slide show: annoying, or enjoyable? If I can keep up with it, I hope to change the photos periodically so you're not just looking at the same ol' faces everytime you visit. Speak up, and if you have any photos you'd like to share, pass 'em on!

  1. I save stuff too, so you aren't the only one! I save some stuff for a month or so before I file it or delete. No real reason, just what I do. So don't feel bad.

  2. Hey, there are no pictures of Dudley on that slide show! I am sure he is hurt about that.
