We both just signed up for Facebook. We usually manage to position ourselves well behind the curve and our embrace of Facebook probably indicates the cool people are about to abandon it for Twitter. We're just getting around to watching Seinfeld in reruns, after all.
Our timing is also off since we're flying to our Transatlantic cruise at the end of the week, just after we jam in a visit with the grandkids in B.C., and we'll be heave-hoing on the Atlantic (hopefully without too much heaving) for close to two weeks without touching land or Internet.
People will be writing on our Facebook Wall and sending us cute personal messages and wondering what happened to us. All this high-tech stuff can be not only demanding but fatiguing in its own way, can't it?
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
