I’ve always been a private person. My friends and family will tell you that. I’m not hiding anything. I’m just private. If it weren’t for my wife, Jana, I doubt I’d ever have gotten on Facebook or learned how to email. That’s as far as I go.
I’m aware that there’s all other kinds of communication devices and applications out there. They’re of no interest to me. Let someone else Twitter or Instagram or Snapchat or whatever else they’re doing these days. I’m sorry, but the progress of technical stuff bores me to tears.
Truth be told, several years back, I hurled my cellphone out the car window and into the night. If anybody wants to text me or send me a funny message, I ain’t there. I happen to like taking a walk or a drive and giving myself time to just think.
I guess it’s good to be connected to the rest of the world. Me, I think that what little privacy there is left on this planet should be held sacred. I’m not sure why people feel the need to take so many pictures of themselves or talk so much on the phone. Hashtag, a bit much.
But, that being stated, from time to time, I post pictures of Jana and the dogs and me to my Facebook friends, just to keep a little skin in the game. That’s another thing, I’ve never had so many friends in my life. I’m not quite sure where they all came from.
