I love the internet. I’ve actually made some of my really good friends online. Between email, blogging twittering, online writing groups and now FACEBOOK I am online constantly. Good thing I can multitask…

Facebook is a funny creature. I’ve found a lot of friends, old and new on FB. I enjoy reading status updates, hi-jacking comment threads, stalking spying quietly a few people that I like to know about but don’t necessarily want to interact with all the time.

Enter yesterday. I get a message from a ‘new’ FB friend asking if I have wireless internet. Now, I’ve never met this FB friend face-to-face before, but he’s best friends with a good friend of mine, so I didn’t think anything about it. Pat is a Psychiatrist and he was in town visiting his wife’s family. Apparently his in-laws are still on dial up and Pat needed to refil some prescriptions for a couple of patients. He went to Starbucks but couldn’t get logged on. So he contacted me.

And then my virtual world became reality. LOL

It was good to meet him. Nice guy. Apparently he reads my blog. LOL That’s two people in a week that I’d never met before who read my blog. That’s kinda cool. We had a good time chatting. He told me a few stories about our mutual friend, packed up his stuff and headed back to Camp In-Laws.

What did we do before cell phones and social networking? Does anyone remember actually holding a real conversation?

Have a good weekend, y’all! Any big plans?
