Howdy, I’m Barbara Tomlin. My primary reason for creating this blog site was to complement my presence on Twitter and Facebook, where I am using BarbTUSA as my user ID.

As of this writing, I would have to term myself as a “Newbie” on these social networks. I made a point to “stake my claim” on Facebook in 2008, but frankly, I wasn’t interested in doing anything more because I wasn’t convinced the Facebook style of social networking would do anything more than add “noise” to my life. And, more noise is not something I aspire to attract at this time in my life.  But now my viewpoint has changed and I’ve decided to jump in. The primary focus of this blog site will be all my adventures as a result of this decision.
