What is happening to me?  I've become all "techy" and such.  Don't get me wrong, I'm kind of having fun...I'm a bit like a kid on Christmas, playing with all my new toys.  In some ways, I feel closer to alot of people in my life and I enjoy the instant gratification all this technology affords me.  But, I also wonder if I spend too much time in front of my computer and TV and on my phone, instead of outside and interacting with real people.  The next few months will be interesting.  As the newness wears off, will these changes have been a phase or will they become an integral part of my life?  Maybe there's an App to help me predict...
