Entertainment

Recently I introduced myself to the world of online worlds. Secondlife gets a ton of credit in the news but you wouldn't believe the number of worlds out there to explore. I can take exotic mini-vacations anytime I feel up to logging in and waiting for a download or two. Admittedly some cost money, some are games, and some are just not that interesting to me.

Regardless of the downsides I have found that they let me connect with old and new friends all around the world and some quite close to home. For anyone having a boring social life, connecting online may have become a bit more interesting. I know living in an area populated by retirees, having an outlet to another place and people balances my life.
