As
I type this today the wind is blowing and the temperature is down in
the fifties. I couldn’t be happier about the arrival of cooler
weather. Here in Texas our most extreme season has to be summer,
therefore the coming of the fall is a very welcome time of year,
especially a cool wet one after the beast of summer we had this year.
In the northeast they have insufferable winters so spring is probably
their most anticipated season. It’s the relief of the season following
your most extreme that gets the most love as far as I can tell. I love
the fall, and it is fully upon us now.
As
the weather cools and our outdoor adventures diminish, I think folks
are more inclined to get online and check their facebook and myspace
and twitters a little more often. “just got my coffee, off to work!”,
“just cleaned the house!” “it’s movie night and I’ve got a bottle of
wine!” “lol, omg, lamo, ttyl, bff, mri, irs, fbi, nra, qsc, wwjd, wwwd,
wmd” and all the rest seem to come in a little more often when people
aren’t distracted by floating down a river, or camping in the woods, or
road tripping across America.
My
wife is definitely the one who has led our household in the social
networking world. She was first to myspace, and first to facebook and
keeps up with her site fairly regularly. However, she also doesn’t
always log out and that has created a pretty fun game for me here in
our house. If I happen to see that she is logged on I like to type
something in here status bar. My most recent episode of facebook
hi-jacking was this: “Kristi wants everyone to know that she has six
toes on her left foot”. While completely untrue, it is really fun to
mess with someone’s online persona. I highly recommend hi-jacking your
spouse, significant other, or roommates facebook if you ever get the
chance. They get a little bit mad, but in the end, depending on what
you type, it’s pretty funny.
The
cooling weather will likely present you with more opportunities for
facebook hi-jacking, take advantage. Good luck and enjoy your fall.
See you soon. --Josh
