In my case it's not lack of money but lack of time that prevents. Also we have our Tikkun / Network of Spiritual Progressives conference in Washington DC June 11-14. The lack of time in a busy job like this at Tikkun is also why I gave up my Facebook account this month: I just couldn't even get to look at the page once in a month and I think some people imagined they were communicating with me by seeing their Facebooks posts. It's supposed to be de rigeur for an editor or communicator of any kind now to pursue social networking. I find I need quite a lot of alone time in order to be a human being anyone would want to spend face time with, and then I'd like to use my other off-work hours with family, nature and face-to-face friends at church or wherever. The social networking thing feels more like a detractor from all those things than an addition, to me: of course I am only talking about my experience. Wish I could come to the conference!
