I find all social media a silly tool and, at the same time, part of everyday life. From a preclinical standpoint, nothing has ever claimed to bring more people closer while making them feel further away at the same time. What a silly concept equating worth to likes or having 500 friends. I don’t even know 500 people.
I also realize it is a necessary evil, but we lose perspective on it. This blog is about 99% of my social media usage because I can put into words what comes to mind, share it, and have a conversation, not to mention it is a good place to learn from others, share ideas, and see so much creativity. This is really the only social media I like that has value for me for the reasons I mentioned.
Other than this, I use Instagram mainly to watch funny animal videos. I don’t really post anything other than maybe a beach scene or a restaurant I went to, and give the establishment a plug for their business.

I spent 40 years in FinTech before retiring to Rio de Janeiro to trade software releases for a front-row seat to the beautiful absurdity of life in Brazil. This blog is my digital porch, a place for unpolished commentary on book reviews, daily gripes, and the random thoughts of a guy who finally has the time to pay attention. I’m an observant realist with a deep appreciation for history, a good quote, and the perspective that only comes after the career ends. I write to stay sharp, to stay honest, and to keep the conversation going. I love my Patriots and Bruins, a life long fan in bad times and good. They have been quite good for a long time now! I love spending time with my wife the best times are just doing nothing; watching tv, talking or just sitting at the beach together for a few hours. Our spot is pier 60 in Clearwater. I love the time I have with my kids when I can, they are all pretty busy. Seinfeld is about the best comedy ever. You will see me frequently comment on the show and why my blog is about nothing.
