BUZZ: Harry Potter, free speech, and family dysfunction

This weekend my parental units were down from the north and I finally got my mom onto facebook!

I would put her age, but she knows how to use firearms. Not that age has anything to do with technology. I am still stunned that after giving a 90-plus-year-old gentleman in the community a VeroNews.com business card he pulled out a smart phone and immediately looked it up, which is the polar opposite of some who won’t touch a computer.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the business of reporting on people, you can’t fit them into a box, if you go in with a preconceived notion you’ll most likely end up the fool.

Happy clicking,

Keith

“Last night, my kid stopped by and we were sitting in the living room when I said to her, ‘I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.’ he got up, unplugged the Computer, and threw out my wine. They are SO on my sh-t list …”

“Five acres. Push mower, wheel barrel. Never ending job!”
