Facebook Musings
Since joining the ranks of FB zombies, I was still a little baffled by its appeal, but then I realized why it’s been a long time since we updated the blog. Facebook has sort of taken the place of the stream of consciousness posting that sometimes occurs here. It’s a lot easier to write a random thought, no frills, over in FB than to compose a blog entry. And, after all, do we really need an entire blog to say, essentially, “Holy Freaking God, When Is This Damned Winter Going To Be Over?”, which is pretty much what our Ohio February lives are like. So I guess the FB appeal is to let our “friends” in on the minutiae of our humdrum lives without the burden of worrying about composition.
Not that this is particularly well-composed, but still.
I’m sure we’ll post more blog entries when we can get some sun and fresh air and blow away the winter brain-fog that grips us every February. Oh, and as my silvery stripe of growing out gray hair becomes more visible, I’ll be sure and share the horror of accepting my 60 year old hair with grace and dignity

The blog also serves as a scrapbook that’s easily browsed. I’m not ready to give it up.

Of course not! There’s room on the internet for two forums to let the world know of our fascinating life and compelling adventures!

I agree that FB is a great place to post the random sentence or two about everyday stuff. But I am trying very hard to make it a point to keep the blog updated as well. Hopefully you’ll find the happy medium between good ol’ Blogger and Facebooking!

I am glad to see a post on your blog! I’m still up in the air about FB. It’s nice receiving and posting comments on friend’s and family’s status. It keeps things more “in the moment”, but I miss the more in depth ramblings on everyones blogs.
