I just realized that more than half of my friends on Facebook are people that I’ve never met. I guess it’s good to have a lot of friends. But are they really friends? Will I ever get to meet all these people?

With this heat wave, it gets very hard to be motivated enough to cut the grass and do other chores outdoors.

It seems that most of the country is having a very hot summer, with record setting high temperatures all along the East Coast and throughout the southeast. The temperature has been above 90 degrees since the third week of May. We may well set a new record for the number of consecutive days with temperatures above 90 degrees.

Usually I am one of the first adopters when it comes to technical things. I am so very interested in computers and the internet, and I work with computers and telephones all day. So, unfortunately, when I get home after a hard day at work, the last thing I want to do is get online again and work on the computer at home. So I have avoided signing up for Facebook.

My wife has been on Facebook for several months and she loves it. So after a lot of nagging gentle prodding by my wife, I decided to bite the bullet and get onto Facebook. So far, it is easy to use and pretty interesting. But I need to search out “friends” to make it work.

My older sister is celebrating her birthday today. I bet she doesn’t say anything about it on her blog or make a big deal about it at work. But to me, every birthday is something special and I want her to have her own special day.

Happy Birthday, Lindsay!
