Okay, it was bad enough learning that P. had broken up with his girlfriend when he changed his status on Facebook and therefore everyone saw the announcement with the broken heart icon. He and I had been previously discussing it so I was not completely surprised when it happened.

But today, D. told me he and his wife are splitting up, not just on Facebook, but on the message board of our Scrabulous game on Facebook! And I was surprised! The worst part, I mean besides the splitting up, is that D. is not a Facebook kind of person in the first place. Christ-a-roni people. What’s next?

[And just to head him off at the pass, Adam, I know you're going to say- Marriage: it's the new going steady!]
