<\/p>\nHi there!<\/p>\n
I\u2019m really thrilled that clicked around and got this far on my website. I so appreciate your stopping by. But before I go any further, I have a confession\u2026.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m no blogger. I don\u2019t even read blogs. The thought of ME blogging is actually cringe-worthy. But my friends say that writers MUST blog. And without one, I\u2019m completely and without a doubt, so last century. So since my friends tend to be much savvier than I could ever be, I decided to trust them. And a quick Google search proved them right.
\nHere\u2019s what people say about bloggers. (Actually I recently learned that \u00a0vloggers are even cooler, totally rad, but \u00a0bear with me. Rome wasn’t built in a day.)<\/p>\n
Blogs are the new black
\nBlogs are the new diaries
\nBlogs are the new resumes
\nBlogs are the new press
\nBlogs are the new JOURNALIST!<\/p>\n
So I figured I had better get on this blog bandwagon before I\u2019m even more last century. Actually, someone (who doesn\u2019t own a cell phone or a computer) once told me that she\u2019s so technology challenged, she thought that she could text on her microwave. I swear, I\u2019m not that bad. I mean, I am on Twitter now. (A small miracle. Although those same smart friends tell me that I shouldn\u2019t labor over those Tweets like I do.)<\/p>\n
While we\u2019re talking about Twitter, I remember when I got a reporting assignment to ask Brooke Shields questions, one of them was about Twitter. But that was back in the social media dinosaur days, 2009, and I was just getting my Facebook legs. I remember looking at the question, wondering if it was a typo and then researching this newfangled way to send a sentence cyberspace. I admit, I didn’t get it. Our conversation went something like this:<\/p>\n
ME: Do you use twitter? (I know. I know. But at the time, I wasn\u2019t sophisticated enough to ask if she Tweets.)
\nBrooke Shields: Twitter? What does that mean? (I started to explain, but our dialogue overlapped.).
\nBrook Shields: Hmmm. I do when I’m around a cute guy. When there’s a cute guy I’m all a twitter.<\/p>\n
Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n

\nP.S. Brooke now has more than 4,000 followers! Way to go!<\/p>\n
P.S.S. Check out my Twitter feed,\u00a0@JerylBrunner<\/p>\n
