John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Facebook Profiles

‎”You know it’s time to change your Facebook profile information when (fill in the blank).”

I just had a ski trip cancelled…which forced me to also reconsider my FB profile information.

I list skiing as my favorite sport. When I filled out my FB profile a couple of years ago, it seemed like a good idea. Skiing as my “favorite sport” made me sound sporty and interesting–and I even believed it at the time.

But today’s cancelled ski trip got me thinking. I’ve actually only been skiing twice in the past 28 years. I really don’t think that should qualify as a “favorite sport” —even for a person who has been deceased for 3 decades.

I’ve spent more time playing skeet ball the past 28 years!

So, in a flush of full disclosure, I’m getting brutally honest and changing my favorite sport from the cosmopolitan sounding “skiing” to the more mundane but factually correct “taking the stairs” –which I’ve done more than 3 times the past 28 years.

I think.
