Instant Communication

Constantly fascinated by this thing that is the internet. Instant communication anywhere on the globe as long as you have a computer and a connection. Absolutely amazing.

I have at least one reader in the Philippines- I think that's dreadfully cool. I lived in Seoul, S. Korea for a couple of years in high school and had a teacher who once took a vacation there with his wife. He brought back glass fishing net floats for all his AP chemistry students, so I have a piece of the Philippines here in my house. Also had a couple of friends, a DoDDs teacher and a student, who moved to Yongsan Army Garrison in Seoul after they were evacuated from a military base in the Philippines because of the Mt. Pinatubo eruption.

Have noticed readers in Kenya (I think I know who that is, as I do know one family there- hope you all are safe and well), South Africa, various places in Europe and Asia, and of course readers right here in the states.

So where are you? Do I know you? Why do you read what you read?

I am in Victoria, BC, Canada. I came accross your blog via a link in a blog that I found via another link in someone's blog.

Sooo...you don't know me :-). I read the poem in your last post and was entranced...then read some older posts and bookmarked you!

Thanks for saying hi, T. Glad you enjoyed the poem. Wow. "Entranced". THAT is a fabulous word, and I'll take it. ;-)

I hope others will say hi. I'm very curious about who reads what, and why.

Many years to you,
Maria
