A few months ago my sister-in-law, Lori, and I were buying a present for my mom. Since Lori lives way out in Washington State and I live in North Carolina there was the issue of transferring money. I assumed that Lor would write a check and send it snail-mail, but no.
The younger, hip, with-it Lori asked, "If this isn't too techy for you, could I send it through pay-pal?". So, the shocked, out-of-it, older me, (with feigned confidence) said, "sure." I spent the next 45 minutes setting up and confirming and wondering if I was really giving my information to some hacker who would leave me penniless by tomorrow.
Everything turned out beautifully. I got the money quickly and securely and had the satisfaction of feeling a little bit "with-it".
Maybe my success is spurring me on. My cousin, Natalie, just started blogging. So here I go, both feet in. Welcome to my online blogging world.
