A funny thing happened last week ~ [View All]

[freebird1]

~ as I was driving to Boston to finally see some of my new DU friends for the first time I began thinking again about how very lucky I am. I actually have the time to get involved with other people who share some of the same views that I have ~ to make a positive difference in our world.

Last week while I was busily getting ready for my trip and talking about why I was traveling this time. The people in my home town became interested in the Democratic Underground and a few wrote down how to google search for us so they could join. They're all concerned about the problems around us and so we'll have some more New Yorkers joining DU soon.

So ... I've decided to change my user name for the third time since joining DU in December of 2004 as Freebird12004.

Let me introduce myself ~ :hi: I am Joan Alpern.

I've also decided to join the Progressive Democrats of America. I feel that my words will count for more if I'm not speaking as Freebird. So it looks like my Freebird user name is due for a vacation from the web.
