I got back from TC a few hours ago, and here's the question on my mind:
How many of my friends would I have lost touch with if it weren't for e-mail and social networking sites (like facebook)? Would I use more of my cell phone minutes? Would I be completely friendless? I mean, I've reconnected with a lot of friends through facebook and blogging, but how many of my current friends would be lost if there were no Internet? Even the ones who live close?
Oh, and my two-year bloggiversary (for this blog anyway) was a week or two ago. I guess I missed it. This has been the longest I've kept a blog . . . but in my defense, the other blogs I had were back when no one else had a blog. When I was in junior high, I had a journal on Word Perfect on our computer. I'm pretty sure I kept it saved to a 5" floppy disk. Feeling a little old here. I wonder what ever happened to those journal entries.
Maybe someday I'll open up the vault and post a link to the blog I started when I first graduated from college. Yikes. Maybe I should just post a few selected excerpts from those times instead.
These are just a few of the things that I think about during four-hour car trips.
Anyway, we had a great time but I'm so glad to be back in Internet-land.

I'm glad to have reconnected with you through our blogs!! I love knowing what is going on in your life - and I love being able to see Jack!!
I echo Heather's comment. In fact, I doubt I would have a blog if it wasn't for you!
I totally did the Word Perfect journal thing too!! In addition to the real journal I had. I apparently have an obsession with writing about myself...
When are you & Jeanette coming to Ann Arbor?? We've got to start planning. :)
