Weighty Matters

The internet is like one big hook-up. Over the last five years, I have found or been found by every person that I ever knew, and many I did not. Some people, I've avoided, other people, have avoided me.

It all began with email, then instant messaging, and now "social networking". That's what the nice people I work with refer to things like Facebook as, just fresh back from a seminar. Five years from now, one of them will refer to it as "crack book" and marvel at their cleverness.

What did Mark Twain say about everything being late to Cincinnati?

Anylatediscovery, the first thing my girlfriends do, many of whom I've not seen in thirty years, is report on their weight. Without fail, every one of them, from every walk of life, will tell me how much weight they've gained over the years.
