Musings on topics of small or large importance. Especially partial to subjects that include baby boomers, public figures, friends, Corporate America, the Denver Broncos, NASCAR, my previous home towns of New York City and Columbia (Maryland), stupidity (mine and others'), diets and health and who knows what else!

Why I Love Facebook

I get to see what a bunch of positive, fun folks are up to.
I get to "like" a whole bunch of people, projects, companies, comments and fun stuff.
I get to empathize when people are going through tough stuff.
I get instant support when I need it.
I get to laugh a lot.
I get to keep up with dear friends, pals and colleagues that I ordinarily wouldn't be in touch with very often.
I get to share my good and bad news and stuff that makes me laugh with people, some of whom appreciate it. :-)
I get to get in on discussions, some of which are dumb and fun, some of which tackle serious issues.
I get news that I might not get elsewhere or I get it first there.
I get GREAT comments from people I know and, often, their friends.
I get to see lots of pictures of my friends and their families and friends.
I get to keep up with people when they live in other countries.
I get to participate and play in private groups of people from several of my diverse worlds.
I get to learn from people like Mark David Gerson and Larry Broughton and Dr. Wayne W. Dyer and Craig Duswalt and Brendon Burchard.
I get to read and comment on blogs by Lawrence Block and Danny Davis and Jane Fonda and Sue Grafton. Some of them respond right away, which only increases my love for and loyalty to them.
I get to tell people I love them even if I don't use those exact words.
All of the above = Priceless!
