These 2 young men, Jean and Evener, are my favorite faces, my best friends, the people to whom I can give the keys to my house for 3 weeks and then I can walk away without a worry. They graduated from Boca High this past June, the first in their family to do so. They make me feel a lot of pride because maybe I helped them a little these past 5 years. Who do you think was the only one in the crowd who knew how to knot a tie?
Facebook will be great to keep up with the people at work, if they choose to reciprocate my request for facebook/friendship. Honestly I embrace the new technology and I will continue to mess around with it in the months to come.
Virtually and actually, the people who have an impact on my life day to day are fragile, delicate, easily upset and others are tough, resilient, unflappable. Am I the high strung queen? Am I ready to cope with face-to-face and virtual communications flawlessly, faultlessly, and fabulously?
I truly wonder whether facebook, flicker, blog, email, yadda yadda will ever give me a comparable warm fuzzy feeling that my old Ms Peru (20 year old calico street cat from Regjerings Gade, Charlotte Amalie, St.Thomas, USVI)gives me when I open the apartment door at night. Yeah, a type of companionship, maybe, but different.
