When Blogs Collide (cross-posted)

My 89-year old father figured out how to use LinkedIn – he clicked on a hyperlink and read my profile. He was surprised that I had done so much since college (okay Dad, I’m almost 55 years old, I should have pursued a few things related to work . . .) seriously it was really sweet when he told me he was proud of my career achievements. Some people never get to hear that from their parents. He doesn’t quite get the nuances of how I made a living for the last few decades, nor why I have no pension plan. He is however, very happy that I finally got a job, and that it is with a company he has actually heard of – because they have screwed up his insurance claims. The dots connect.
