Google is Funny
Earlier today I needed to verify an address in the UK so I looked it up on Google maps. I found what I needed and then, just for fun, I decided to get driving directions there from here in New Jersey. The directions were fairly normal until it said "Swim across the Atlantic Ocean entering France 3,462 mi, 29 days, 0 hours." How about that? If you get bored try typing this (answer to life the universe and everything) into Google and see what happens. Oh, Google, you make me chuckle.
I'm headed to Chicago tomorrow to live it up with Jonathan, so look for the pictures on facebook. Cheers.

Man, I feel really sorry for those poor souls who are not on facebook and won't get to see those pictures. Don't you guys?
You can get a hotel room when you come down for the wedding, Taylor. Turns out we just don't have room for you.
Ouch.
Why am I being punished for wanting to commune with y'all on the information superhighway?
We didn't take any pictures, so stop punishing Taylor. You guys should get on facebook, it's a good networking tool.
I know that at this point the Elliotts can't join facebook on principle; however, if they do (hypothetically) decide (maybe) to get on at some (undecided) point in the future, I just want them to know that they won't hear any jibes from this corner to the effect of "I knew you would cave" or something similarly obnoxious.
"On principle" implies that there is one. I think it's more out of being ornery at this point. I mean, you guys did get a cell phone and use email, so there's no purist Luddite sentiment to invoke here.
There's a good reason why there aren't any pictures of Steven's visit. But I won't tell what it is. If you really want to find out, come to Chicago.
It's completely pathetic that a discussion of why we're not on facebook has taken 7 comments. Incidentally, I don't think that orneriness and principle are mutually exclusive. Sometimes, I'm ornery on principle. Does everybody know we're buying a townhouse? Inspection's tomorrow.

If being ornery is your principle, then yes, they're not mutually exclusive.
Tell us more about this townhouse!
Congrats on the townhouse. I guess that you guys are settling down in Florida then, eh?
I wouldn't say it's pathetic, Kelly - maybe slightly ridiculous, though. Besides, one of the first rules of facebook, much like fight club, is 'don't talk about facebook.' So, I hereby promise that I won't mention it again.
Also, today (June 28th) is Ashley's 21st birthday. Be sure to welcome her into the wonderful world of adulthood if you get the chance.
