 (None of these pictures were taken in Antarctica, but it irritates Facebook tremendously for me to mis-tag pictures! ) People often fault me for having too much time on my hands or too much creativity.

As a bona fide fuddy-duddy old person, I can see that people’s ideas are rapidly evolving about social media. Don’t be the cliché old man on the porch with a bucket of rocks…

If you are the guy who gets on social media and tells everyone your girlfriend is cheating on you, you’ve got bigger problems than typing it into an electronic communicaiton device where everyone else can see it.

This is a picture of my dad. He would be the harshest critic of social media if he were still alive.

Except socially. While being anti-social.
