Has it really been 52 days since I last posted to this blog? So much for keeping up a new hobby. Well, after all, the summer is the busiest time of year when you have kids out of school that are quite busy with their summer activities and are not of driving age. This has been taking up the blog time for me as well as having become a daily user of facebook. Yes, I said facebook. It seems I, like so many innocent individuals who own computers, have found the time consuming ritual of looking at what their friends have posted, entering posts of one's own, accepting friends that found you and searching for new friends thereby requesting them to be virtual friends. I use the analogy of this facebook site as a vast black hole that has an enormous vacuum capability. Once you log on the suction power of the hole is so strong you can not break free of it. Before you know it, a vast amount of valuable time has been lost into the great beyond. You can actually hear the sound of wind and time forever disappearing with nothing to be done except type and read, type and read. Eventually, it loses its power and you are able to regain control, hit the logoff icon and your life continues as if nothing has changed. Oh, but it has. The time is gone, never to be gained back. Ah, but the fun you have among the posts of friends!
