Here is a great use of the vast "electronic commons" and a boon to elderhood besides...
"Everyone loves a good story. Long before there was written language, cavemen told stories by firelight, passing on the lore of their tribes to the next generations. When we elders were children, our parents read stories to us. At family gatherings, grandparents and aunts and uncles retold the incidents and events of our family histories. And today, we continue the tradition with our children and grandchildren."
Great blog, check it out.

Welcome to the elder blogosphere, Dr. Thomas. I'm so pleased to see you here. Your books, especially What Are Old People For?, have been an inspiration for my own blog and in fact, that one is in tatters from my frequent reference to it.
And thank you for posting the Elderbloggers Rule! badge. I'll add your blog to the Elderbloggers List on Time Goes By when I update it next in a week or two.
Again, welcome. So glad you have joined us.
