(I wonder if a few thousand other Framinghamians will chime in as well?) Don't let the spellcheck bother you. In this context, the message is more important. (And that's a good excuse for the typos I don't catch before posting.) <i>Henry V</i> has always been a favorite of mine; it was fun relating him to technical presentations. Donna, thanks for stopping by. (I wonder if a few thousand other Framinghamians will chime in as well?)

Your mention of the Framingham Heart Study ( I am a participant)and the statistics surrounding the likliehood of obesity, encouraged by the behavior of a friend of a friend, and all of the tidbits you included about our growing inventory of facebook friends,the question of the value of a few deep relationships vs a gazillion aquaintenances and social networking connections..all peaked my interest and tickled my funny bone - I have lived here, in and around Framingham for 47 plus years,make a living in real estate sales by nurturing a few close relationships which in turn produce a larger network of friends through friends, have a FB page, share obesity and food issues with other soccer moms and dads, and have been in search of the secret to Eternal Happiness since I was five - so why was I not included as a subject in the Christakis and Fowler Study? I also enjoyed the Henry V video posted in your latest blog entry - I may very well share this with others at our office meeting tomorrow! It might be just the thing a group of battered & discouraged, yet determined and loyal group of realtors need to encourage them to continue fighting the battle with banks, short sales,and foreclosure property and provide some inspiration for coming to the aide of so many of our emotionally charged clients in need of guidance from a new friend with lots of contacts! I also ask for forgiveness in advance as there is no spellcheck connected to this comment block:) Regards and thanks for your posts! Donna@DontForgetDonna.com Dave,
