I joined Facebook a couple of months ago, at the urging of my sons. Most of my FB "friends" are a generation younger than me, and many of them (including both my boys) are aspiring comedians. My Facebook experience consists mostly of trading one-liners; I find it pretty amusing.

Of course, I'm also in touch with a fair number of Mudcatters. At first, I would always "befriend" anyone automatically suggested to me by FB when I could see that our Mutual Friends included other Mudcat characters. I've stopped doing that, but I still click "yes" when I receive a personal friend-request from pretty much anyone.

All you need to know is my real name: Tom Henehan (the one in New Orleans. I have found another guy on FB with the same name who lives in Minnesota; we're not related, as far as we can tell, and don't have a lot of common interests. We are both OLD for FB, although he's about 10 years younger than me.)
