It has been almost a year since my last post here--that's shameful! I have been sucked into the wondrous world of Facebook--the "This Is Your Life" of the 21st century. I have gotten back in touch with friends (and perhaps former enemies) from as far back as elementary school. I've had opportunities to heal some of my old wounds. I'm in more frequent touch with relatives. I've reconnected with people from all different areas of my life--from my church growing up, from Eastman, from previous employment, from high school. What has surprised me is how often these groups overlap--for example, I see that a friend of a high school friend is friends with someone I used to know from a music camp. Weird.

I also have been able to connect with people I hadn't met before, but who have common interests--other mito parents, other musicians, and, amazingly enough, some famous people in the entertainment business whose work I enjoy, and who have also been supportive to me in some instances.

It is wonderful and far-reaching, and I marvel at it.
