Even now, I'm still a little wary about these publish-your-life-and-secret-thoughts on the web. You hear all these scary stories about virtual stalking. Or worse, who wants to read about your life and secret thoughts anyway?!?!

But maybe I'm being converted. After all, it's a great way to share the day-to-day details of life with loved ones who want to know. That's nice. And it's certainly better than trying to write the same e-mail over and over. This Internet stuff has sure made it really tough. The older we get, the more people we know, and the harder it gets trying to keep in touch with folks - and yet, e-mail's supposed to make life easier, more efficient, faster communication, etc.

Ah, but I must admit, it is still pretty cool. I remember when I sent my first e-mail my freshman year of college. Within the hour, I'd run downstairs to the Unit 3 Computer Lab to check if I got a response yet. Then, I couldn't wait to read it and write back. I think I got, maybe, two e-mails a day. :) Now... I still try, I really do, and yet, I inevitably fall behind.

There are just so many of you lovely folk out there that I'm blessed to know and love!
