Facebook At Last

DavidB — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 03:23:36 +0000

I know I’ve been threatening for years to close this blog down, but now may finally be the time.

I yielded to peer pressure and joined Facebook. Still getting used to it. It makes me feel like I’m in grade school again to ask someone to be my friend. What if they say no?

Facebook is great for keeping up with all 57 of my “friends.” But it’s not a really good place to keep a log. Or at least I can’t seem to make it work that way. My posts are soon forgotten, scrolled off the bottom of the screen into oblivion.

This Year, Don’t Complain That I Am Impossible To Buy For

DavidB — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 03:46:18 +0000

Like many middle class men over 40, (Aaaargh! I’m old.) nearly everything I want that costs less than $50, I already have. This makes it tough to select a gift for me. Even Dana has trouble. My relatives often tell me (usually just after Christmas) that I am impossible to buy for. This after giving me a gift certificate or a some kind of funky electronic gadget that looked cool at the mall, but does not seem like such a good idea now.

So this year, in an effort to ease your purchasing decisions, and in a shameless attempt to get some cool stuff, I’ve filled out one of them amazon.com wish list thingees.
