I have reconnected with many, many old friends thanks to Facebook.

It’s always fun when you stumble across someone you used to know through business or your personal life, but perhaps the most amazing thing, at least for me, is how little you have to say to those people once you reconnect.

There are at least four old bosses of mine among my Facebook friends. One makes a comment now and then on a post I put up. Another says nothing. And don’t for a minute think I am placing blame for this on the other people. Heavens, no! I’m the one who, after opting to make the connection, has nothing to say to the other person.

There are friends I’ve made during more than 30 years as a journalist. Folks I know from all the years I was a working musical performer. There are old girlfriends. I guess it’s always a shock to see someone I knew when she was in her 20s as a grandmother, but we really have nothing to say to each other, once we have acknowledged the connection.
