(I've got all three of you in my "Circle".)<br />Still muddling through though. I have been rather self-indulgent with posting a video, a few links and a couple of comments (some of you may have found them entertaining - at least my mother laughed when I said them first to her).<br />My biggest problem with it all so far is an inability to direct my "people" into the appropriate circle. Thus, I've landed a few acquaintances in the "family circle" and was a struggling to get them out! (All is well now.)<br />I'm pretty sure I'll persist with it. Like you, Alan, I lean towards the McLuhan angle as well and have scads of those notebooks of which you speak. (No moleskine though - too pricey!)<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-37812388183160042852011-07-29T23:51:49.457+01:002011-07-29T23:51:49.457+01:00Every fall when the school supplies comes out in s...Every fall when the school supplies comes out in stores, I can't resist going up and down the aisles and take a whif of the scent of new notebooks, pencils, etc. There is definitely a smell that emits from them, and I can not resist buying a little notebook, small enough so that it will be full in no time, (or at least till the new supplies comes out the following year....Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015301472659256675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-46537872206189845962011-07-29T09:49:00.828+01:002011-07-29T09:49:00.828+01:00I haven't come across Google+
