I turned 62 on Friday, and just to illustrate that you can teach old gits new tricks, I have signed up to Twitter, thereby keeping me in line with half a billion modern folks, all of whom are doubtless exchanging (a maximum of 144 characters) pearls of inestimable wisdom as we speak.
I haven't begun to follow anyone yet, having resisted Twitter's own suggestions of Seth McFarlane (the idea has possibilities) or Simon Cowell (I'd rather be nibbled to death by an okapi). Neither have I tweeted anything yet- but never fear- I will. I've gone in under my real name (which for obvious reasons I cannot reveal here) and I intend to follow some of my friends who are already part of the Great Scheme. I also want to post a "picture of the day", though I haven't worked out how to do that yet. But my wife does, and she'll be assisting me.
Will it change my life? I'm not sure. I went on facebook for nearly a year, but eventually became so irritated with the supreme banality of most people's contribuitions I signed off wishing a plague on all their houses. Whether twitter is an improvement on that remains to be seen. But I'll give it a good shot and see what happens.
See you out on the Twitterthing soon!
