reacquainting with friends
Posted by John on August 14th, 2009
I’ve got to give all those social networking things their due. Not only are they amazing time-wasters (hey, someone has to pay the bills) but they do allow a lot of folks to reconnect, and keep everyone appraised of some of the things going on in their life. Twitter, Facebook, Friendfeed, Myspace, etc. I’ve noticed even families using this quite a bit, I think it’s pretty nifty since many of us are spread out over at least one country.
Among tons of other friends I found in the last 6 weeks, one friend has been deployed multiple times overseas. It is indeed a changing world, as she noted.
I can’t personally thank all of the folks who’ve tried to make a difference overseas. Unfortunately, a lot of the great work they’ve done has been overshadowed by politics (from all sides). Trying to get a consensus built is no easy task in that area, not that it is here either. But I have to believe that a lot of these folks have really helped out a lot of folks “over there” and made the world a better place, overall. Thanks!
