Am I the only one who dreads going on Facebook?
I connected with a bunch of snowboarding pros and people I met at snowboard camp. I used to be thrilled at what they were doing. Now, whenever I go on FaceBook, I feel as if life is passing me by. I enjoy finding old friends, but even then I don't keep up with them.
Anyone else feel the same way?

That may be kinda' an oxymoron of sorts since what is posted on the wall is 'actually' life passing by. I must admit you have given me inspiration with this post. I am adding to my list of things to do a new as time allows item. Look for friends from my early life just for the fun of the adventure. Thank you :-)

I've done it twice and my wife has done it once. It's startling how much more you get done during that week.
