Really extended family


I never realized there were so many ways to connect with people!

Imagine playing a game with someone in California, while chatting online with someone in Illinois and texting with someone in Louisiana and talking on the phone to someone from Maryland (who just happened to be some kind of telemarketer, lest you think I am not paying attention to him, which I really wasn’t.)

The game was Words by Zynga, a Scrabble type game that allows people to play when they are ready and can.  The chat was with my daughter who happened to be on Facebook and was also playing a game that included waiting time.  The texting was about a comment I’d made on a friend’s picture and brief, and the telemarketer was just plain annoying!

I, who am always harping on how I prefer to be one on one with a person, was surprised to find myself involved in all this, but it is also delightful!

Kind of like a large family gathering where everyone is talking at once and you are floating around participating.  (Without all the noise and confusion!)
