yes, i want to keep in touch with family & friends - small family - so giving my Dad a call every now & then to let him know i'm still alive/well would be appreciated no doubt (he doesn't use a computer). friends - i'm really more inclined to go the ole postcard route with them - i thought it was SO cool to get postcards from my Dad from the places he had been while traveling....
it's just a big unknown at this point in planning, how much i would want to blog each day or even if i would feel like it.....but, we've been discussing this and i think we'll be able to reach a mutually satisfying compromise on the amount of time spent keeping (a personal blog) electronically up to date.
btw - Airwick knows that setting or trying to set such limits as "8 sentences" with me, will go over about as well as a snowball in hot places.

hmmm, but then again....i love challenges....
