Clawing back out from the online time trap

So far I have had zero interest in Facebook or any of that type of thing, but the night before last I signed up for Facebook because Lois is going to Africa and got on it and urged everyone to do so, so I did, then changed my mind, it felt embarrassing somehow, so I deactivated, but this morning I had emails from people who tried to do the friend thing, but couldn't, so . . . I tried to re-activate, so we'll see what happens. For me, I think a blog and email and good old phone calls are just fine social supplements. A while back, I got curious about Twitter and signed up. It has got to be the biggest time waster of all as far as I can tell. So superficial! A spin off of the Dumb and Dumber era that hopefully will die out now that there is some intelligence in our national leadership.
