You Tube
Okay I have to admit that I am not as technologically advanced as I thought I was. I mean, I just this year learned how to text on my cell phone, setup a Facebook account and now I am creating a blog. I can however, find almost anything on the internet. Oh and did I mention that I love the internet? Anything, anyone, anywhere can be found on the internet. Recipes, boots for wide-calves, a trip to the Hermitage in either Russia or Nashville or almost anywhere in the world. But I have crossed the final frontier - I have been introduced to You Tube. What a concept - people telling their stories in video. Amazing and weird. But before I criticize too much, let me just say that I found Christian the Lion on You Tube. Go there, cry your heart out at the simple beauty of it all - I did just that not once, or twice but multiple times. I cried so hard I think that I lost a couple of pounds in water weight! Loved it, loved it , loved it! But then I loved Born Free and the Day of the Dolphin, and the Last of the Mohicans (oh wait - that was just hot Daniel Day Lewis, not an animal). Oh and lest we forget The Incredible Journey - the original please - and Thomasina. But I have digressed to my favorite topic of conversation, animals! YouTube is an amazing place - almost as rewarding as a trip to Nordstrom Rack.

Congratulations! Ditto to everything you said. I'm sorry for friends who have the odd notion that the internet "isolates" us. It makes it easy to keep up with folks I don't write to but wish I did. My handwriting is almost unreadable, but with a keyboard I'm a great correspondent. Like with the school-mate I "lost" after 6th grade and found on Facebook. (She says she hated me back then, but that's another story and we've grown up since then.) Re: the Hermitage. I was thrilled with its website but the real thing was a disappointment. Maybe due to the crowds.
