After nearly 14 years of Facebook interactions I am calling it quits.  I have requested a copy of my information and it totals about 10GBs.  Wow!  That is a lot of interaction.  I will miss interacting with people who became Facebook friends and real world friends who use Facebook.  I’ll miss wishing and receiving birthday wishes and sharing headlines, memes, and funny stories.  I won’t miss the rancor and disturbing posts I read and wrote and shared.  Those negative posts didn’t change minds and didn’t make any of us feel better about the world.  And we need to feel better about the world.  The real world.  Our families live in the real world and this online Facebook world is more of a distraction than anything else.  So, thank you to all who wished me happy birthdays over the years.  Thank you to all who tried to get me to see things from your point of view.  Thank you to those who listened to my side of things.  I wish all of you well as I leave Facebook.  

I am reviving a blog I started many years ago and will post travel pictures and random thoughts.  You can find the blog at dreamsofmysonsfather.com.  Feel free to leave comments.

My Facebook Messenger will remain so I can be reached there.

Finally, my personal email is steve@ursell.org.  Drop me an email and we can stay in touch the old-fashioned way.  Whoever would have thought emails would be the old way of contacting each other.  I still have my sursell@aol.com account from nearly 40 years ago.  Wow!  Now I really feel old!

All the best to those of you who continued to read this far down the page—and to those who couldn’t resist the need to look for the next shiny object after about 10 seconds.  It’s a joke.  It’s a joke.  You know who you are!  LOL
