I am glad I got to spend a little time with my dad today.
I don’t often make the effort to drive the 45 minutes to see him. Since he needed someone to take him to a doctor’s appointment today, I was glad to have the opportunity.
He bought me dim sum for lunch with plenty to take home too 🙂
We were talking about my cousin in Boston, and my dad assumed I hadn’t talked to my cousin in years. Which is true, I haven’t. But recently we connected on Facebook, and I wanted to tell my dad that.
How do I explain to my 85 year old dad about social networking sites? How do I explain about friends and profiles and writing wall to wall?
I give my dad credit for getting on email, reading the news, and checking his stocks online. Maybe I should tell him to get a FB.

Good daughter! But good luck on explaining FB to your dad! One of my MS interview question was to explain computer networks to a grandma.

Good interview question! Elliot gets frustrated explaining things to me. What is “intuitive” to some people is hard work for others 🙂
