Good Boy!

Every morning, he brings us the newspaper. Such a good boy...

Tweeting, Twittering, Whatever...

My father made me do it.

So we (the family) were sitting around the picnic table, eating and...

Quick brag aside...

...celebrating my niece's graduation from high school and the amazing fact that she received nearly half a million dollars in scholarship offers!! And yet, it was not enough. :-( Ultimately, she had to turn down several very nice offers from Duke, Wellesley, Vassar, UNC and who knows where else (all of the good fencing programs, I think) in favor of a full ride to Kansas University. Not a bad school by any means, but her parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles are all K-State alum. Rock Chalk! *choke* Ahem.

...talking about Facebook and Twittering. Of all the people at the table, my dad was the only one with a Twitter account. Go Dad! :-) I've been reluctant because I have a hard enough time anymore thinking about blogging (let alone actually blogging). When my dad said that he didn't have any followers, I figured, what the heck? I can do this. I'll follow him. So...

Hi Dad! I'm following you! :-) But, I see you haven't said anything yet. I wonder why nobody is following? Hmmm...is there a "Wall" in Twitter? Twitter looks to be much less bother (if I may borrow a term from Pooh) than Facebook. I wonder why it's taken me so long.

Well, off I go. Follow me everyone!

Everyone?

Anyone?

Well, anyway....

Tweet! Tweet!
