Peace Corps Update

For the sake of my own memory someday down the road and for everyone and anyone else who might have some inkling of an interest in this (I looked at a ton of returned Peace Corps Volunteer blogs to get an idea of what the application process is like and still do), here you go:

Food for Thought: Face to Face or Face Time?

[I’ve decided to add a category to my blog called Food for Thought.  Any posts under this category will represent my random musings and thoughts on topics that have passed through my brain recently.  Something for the intellect to munch on.]

It’s been a while since my last post.  Don’t be surprised, I typically handle a lot of activities in my life that revolve around writing this way.  Academic papers, personal journals, and now my blog entries, you name it, I am a procrastinator when it comes to putting pen to paper or, more appropriately for today’s world, fingertips to keyboard (some of my closest friends can attest to this).

Speaking of keyboards, that brings me to my post today.  How many times over the course of your lifetime do you think that your fingertips have touched the keys of numerous keyboards?  Thousands?  Millions?  Billions?  Possibly even trillions?  I think it can be safe to say that whatever that number, it is one that is exponentially increasing every day.
