It’s been about 6 months since I joined Twitter. For a multitude of reasons, I’ve valued every minute of it. To give you a taste of My Twitter, I am sharing a list of my favorite “tweets” – most of which are the flavor of “fun.” This post was inspired in part by a Tweetversation with Rodney Rumford on 17 December 2008, the day I gave him a Yellow Star (the icon for a Favorite Tweet).
