As I have noted earlier, I have come (quite) late to Facebook. But today I began to see some of the benefits.

It is, ahem, a date of some significance in my life – the 30th anniversary of my 29th birthday. And largely because of Facebook, it’s been memorable – I heard from friends all over the country.

Not sure I’m going to become an obsessive Facebook reader. But this was pretty great.

UPDATE: All this and a 35-point Carolina win? What a gift!
