By Margaret Evans, EditorLike millions of Americans, I keep a diary in cyberspace. I call it my “blog” – we all call them blogs – but it’s more like a virtual journal, a place to jot down random thoughts, flesh out idea fragments, post nature photos, etc. I don’t spend much time on my blog – too busy – and neither does anybody else.

Ah, youth. Is it really wasted on young people? Literary lore has it that George Bernard Shaw said it was. I’m inclined to think that youth isn’t usually wasted.
