I wrote this in May 2007. It’s funny how some things still hold true.
It was twenty years ago this week that I put down two days of food for Annie & Cissie (my cats), and packed up my sad navy blue Ford Escort for what would be a long and life changing trip to the Elm City. Twenty years ago this week, I sat for the Connecticut bar exam. I took the Connecticut exam because I believed – during a time when the economy was lousy – that I, as a graduate of Western New England College School of Law in Springfield would have a far better chance of landing a job in the Constitution/Nutmeg state than competing with unemployed graduates and recently displaced attorneys in either Boston or New York. I was right. Sort of. That however, is for another day.
I’ve been blogging here for almost five years. I’ve been trying to find a fitting way to mark that anniversary. But 2010 is not only the 5 year anniversary of this blog – and of my venture into on-line writing, education, regurgitating and at times postulating. It’s also the 20 year anniversary of my becoming an attorney. And since blogging is a form of “social media”, it got me thinking…
The whole “social media” thing that people talk, consult and some even obsess about: The Twittering. The Facebooking. The Blogging. Isn’t it really just another way of being “out there” and “being seen?” Yes – it is. “Being seen” has really has evolved since I started blogging.
