I share this experience with Ursula. Facebook has, for example, put me
lightly in touch with assorted cousins and school friends with whom I'd
otherwise pretty much lost touch . I take a look at what they post now and
again to see what's going on. I am also tickled by seeing how my daughter
and her friends interact with each other.
