Now that I am finally at Exploration 9 I feel like a giant weight is off my chest.
The first three explorations were actually fun. I love the Flickr exploration, what a
great way to get beautiful photos. Whenever I need to feel rejuvenated I pull up beach
photos and can feel my blood pressure drop & it helps me think of all the fun times I've
had in the Caribbean over the past 15+ years. I can't imagine that anyone but a friend
would want to read my blog. I don't really have anything exciting or earth shattering
to say. However now that I am no longer under the gun I can play around & find the
truly fun & useful ways to enjoy my new knowledge.

Sometimes I wish I were a geek. If that were the case none of the explorations would have caused me angst and I would be so much better connected, more into today's culture.
Some days I am so busy I am lucky to get to email. I try not to get on the computer
at home because it sucks all my time away. One site leads to another & I've lost an hour
& can't check anything off my list. I realize how useful email is because it is so much
quicker than being on the phone w/ one or more people. Answering the phone
all day makes me want to shy away from the phone at home too. I guess I need a Wiki
for friends/associates in my circle & then we could all work on the most recent group
project/plans and resolve activities w/o a single call. When you get to be my age
group plans are like herding cats. There may be collaboration, perhaps even attitude
but not too much flexibility. Time to go, be back soon to close out Exploration 9.
