Thank you for the thoughtful essay. I'm actually off FB now...I've been talking about it the last few days, I just can't stomach the meaningless (to me) posts looking for attention. I am interested in dialogue, though. In terms of "use" I would say I am mostly a utilitarian and experience junkie. I keep my body strong for my adventures...been single for 10 years. Not really worried about it :) As I said in my intro post last year, "I'm in a long term relationship with my mountain bike."
