Nope, not talking about bridal things (although I am excited to be going along with my niece and sister-in-law when they look at her potential wedding dress next week).

The something new is Twitter.  You'll see it in the sidebar of my blog--a little nano-blog about what I'm doing that I will update as I get used to the concept.  Twitter is a social networking website that allows people to update their locations, activities and general state of mind via the internet.

You follow people.  People follow you.  You talk about what you're up to.  You read about what they're up to.

The last thing I tried along these lines (introduced to me by my friend Erik, as was twitter) was an SMS (Short Message Service) program based off my cell phone where strangers kept trying to befriend me.  I found that vaguely creepy.  Plus, I got text messages all day long.  I soon deleted it.

In Twitter, I have two people I follow (and who follow me).  I'm enjoying seeing what they're up to when they update and posting little snippets of my day.  We'll see how it goes but so far, it's a 5 out of 10 as new tech experiences go.  God forbid I ever do Facebook!

Something old?  I'm following someone the old-fashioned way as we go to visit our friend in prison tomorrow.  The visit will be on Friday and we'll be back Friday night so Dan can head out to be with Dotty and Dick this coming week after her knee surgery.  He's going to be one tired guy!

I'll try to remember to take the right clothes, appropriate shoes, see-through purse, dollar bills for the vending machines, etc.  19 more visits and a pick-up.  LORD willing.

No twittering from prison.  Nor blogging.  So I'll see you in a few days!
