Blogging, Surfing, etc...

When I get on the computer, almostly nightly, I first check my emails, then get the latest on Penn Live, make a card if I need to, and then I read Dooce's Blog. I told you about her before, and many of you regularly read it as well. Her link is listed on a side bar in my blog. Very funny blog, with lots of good stuff. I'm rarely disappointed with her posts. Anyway, lately, I also routinely search college web sites, and surf around them. Some of the sites are very informative, and very easy to navigate, easy to find their academics, and costs, etc. Some, however, are horrible. Who in the world designs some of these sites? It amazes me. Tonight, it took me about 10 mins just to find the driving directions to the campus. Now that's just wrong! It's my latest quest and I should only search these sites with a stiff drink in my hand. The costs are unbelieveable! Anyway, can you STATE COLLEGES? Ok, perhaps I can't find the directions to these wonderful little gems of campuses, but I sure do like the tuition costs! ha!

I got bored with the college surfin' and started surfin' blogs. At the top of my blog, you'll see a tab for "Next Blog." I strongly recommend that you surf these some night. It amazes me how creative and wonderful some blogs are. Really, highly intelligent, creative, amazing, adventurous people blog. (I know, I just gave myself a compliment...) Anyway, please surf the blogs some time and see for yourself. Ok, I must warn you that you may come across an occasional blog about cleavages, or party girls, or religious fanatics, but mostly, you'll see folks blogging about fabulous vacations; creating beautiful hand-made jewelry; many international bloggers with interesting stories of their everyday lives which are far from the worlds we're used to; a journey of a young medical student in Philadelphia, and tales of his twin brother, studying to become a dentist... Just really great human interest stories that amaze me every time I surf.

I wonder what they say about my boring, Central PA, blog? Probably something like: The crazy lady with the greyhound pictures... Well folks, here's one especially for you:

No greyhounds in that photo, right? That's Baby Beach, a remote, untouched, breathtakingly beautiful beach in Aruba, with Joe and Pat way out in the water! I thought a picture of a beach, below the equator, where the weather is the exact same every day of the year, 90 something, no humidity, a wonderful constant trade-wind to keep you comfortable, would help you on this 12 degree night.... Enjoy the snow!
