Woman: "It wasn't a question. It was a statement."

Me: "Well...what about the 'ain't ya' part? You were obviously seeking confirmation. Technically speaking, that's a question."

Me: "Will it be? I mean, clearly you're perpetuating a crystal ball capacity."

Woman: "Huh?"

Me: "I dunno."

Woman: "The year will be what you make of it. You only have so much control."

Me: "Not if you're hard-headed. And a risk-taker."

Words are words to me, but there you have it. Just as soon as the CIA opened a Twitter account someone figured out how to hack it.

Look at Hurricane Irene. Thanks to technological advances in the meteorological field, we had almost a week to prepare for that storm. Some of us anyway. I am surprised Hurricane Irene didn't have a Facebook page. "It's complicated."

As we juggle Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, Tumbler, Flick'r, DiggIt, and all the others, there are only two things we can be: One step ahead, or two steps behind
