Deactivating Facebook

I am temporarily deactivating my Facebook account beginning tomorrow.  I signed up for Facebook about 3 years ago as a means of trying to get our PHS Class of 1982 Reunions back on track, and it proved to be successful.  But now it's time to do other things rather than spending time each day reading everyone's status updates.  I need to focus on other important things in life.

America's greatest Town Sheriff is gone

My favorite TV show has always been "The Andy Griffith Show".  Andy passed away today in North Carolina.  Here's hoping that the reruns continue for a long time to come.

The Holidays

Each December I end up with several hours that I need to "Use or Lose" and I end up taking a couple of weeks off from work. It is nice just being able to relax and enjoy the Christmas holiday. Of course, I am still attached to the PIO phone in an "On-call" status.

Time To Get Back At It

As you can see, from the date of the previous post, it has been quite some time since my last post. Been distracted by FB and Twitter, plus I took on a new responsibility within the department as a PIO.
