Who needs a High School Reunion?

With the help of my lovely bride to be, Bonnie, I have gotten on Facebook. I have to tell you that I'm addicted.

It's been 16 years or so since I have spoken to some of the people that I have become "friends" with on Facebook, but being able to catch up a little bit and see pictures of some of my old friends families has been a lot of fun.

I would never in a million years go to a high school reunion because I would be uncomfortable talking to people. I'm not the same person I was in high school and of course Im very conscious of my incredible fatness. It's kinda nice to be able to walk around the mall in Cleveland or whatever and not be recognized because I look like Jabba the Hut.

Facebook has been awesome because the people that I did like are on there and there is a casual sense about it. I mean, who knew that Jennifer Biller is having another baby and lives in Guatemala with her husband. She is doing God's work and what could be more rewarding than that.

One of my closest buddies Eric Ratcliff has a couple of kids now and lives in Cleveland. We haven't spoken much in a decade, but I think our families may hook up over the holidays to catch up.

Leslie Leach Davis teaches 4th graders and has a daughter the same age as my little Emmamonster. How perfect is that?

My point is that I am so happy to hear from these folks and find out how well they are doing. It's a really nice feeling to hear good news. I hope that Im able to chat with some other friends as I go along.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. God bless.

It's good to hear good news from others isn't it? Probably because we rarely have good news of our own? HA.

You totally left out the best part of Facebook though: Farming!!!!!!!

HAHA :)
