so, facebook has it’s hugely redemptive qualities.  namely that of finding addresses.  i’m doing my christmas cards this morning and realized i didn’t have all the addresses i need, but i am friends with many of those people or their children on facebook.  i sent messages to probably 20 people about 15 minutes ago and have already received 8 responses.  everyone is on facebook!  and apparently they are on it ALL the time!  it usually feels invasive to me, to leave status updates on what i’m doing when, knowing everyone i’ve known since i was in high school now knows my business.  we left high school, didn’t we?  but in this case, it’s very convenient!  yeah for the information/technology age!
