Fifty Years Ago We Would Have Thought This Magic

Because we numbered only fifteen, communicating with each other was easy when we were in high school.  We could talk as we walked the halls between classes or ate lunch in the cafeteria (except for Sandy, who was allowed to go home for lunch), whisper across the aisle in study hall, or pass notes in class.

Fifty years later finds us separated by distance, but technology makes communicating almost as easy as it was in 1961.

I suggested to Phil that we set up a team blog to which we all can post at any time. He replied that it seemed like a good idea and told me to set it up.  (It's easy to see that he is experienced in delegating responsibility!) Mary would probably have been a better choice for doing this as she has a knack for technology, but Google has made things simple, so I think I can get this going. The end result will be a blog that only we can use; the general public will not see our postings.  The only stipulation is that each of us must have a Google account, which is also free. (Of course, you may retain any existing e-mail account you have from another provider.)

I will enter the e-mail addresses Phil included in his letter in order to identify team members who will have access to the blog.  Remember, you don't need to have a computer in your home to have an e-mail address; you can use a computer at your local library or in other locations.  I know several people who do so.
