Today was the first meeting of one of the social networking groups that I organize. I think I've mentioned a few times, that social networking groups are ways a person can meet others who share common interests. In this case, I started this group on an impulse during a moment of boredom. As I was "creating my group's profile page (choosing color combinations, and introduction page, etc...), I was planning to delete the group when I got to the payment options page. However, that page never appeared, so my group became a reality. I mentioned that it doesn't matter what interests you might have, there will probably be people who share the same interest, or if they don't, you can be placed on a waiting list until someone creates the group.
So, what is my new group?
Jigsaw puzzles.
The goal of the group is to find others who share an interest in completing jigsaw puzzles as well as building scale models.
Well, with my group now operational, I accepted the meeting time and place of the automatic scheduling. Today was the day. Even though no one has joined my "Jigsaw" group, I still went to the park to complete jigsaw puzzle I purchased yesterday at the mall.
Below is a slideshow of the results of my first "Jigsaw" social networking group.

Wow, I really, really have to manage my time better. I should have started writing this blog entry at 9:30, but procrastinations and distractions ate up my computer time. I was just looking at the local supermarket that allows shoppers to shop for groceries online for home delivery.
I'll have to keep this short, I have my class tomorrow. Again, another 5am wake up. Although, I did not get out of bed until about 5:21am. Before I summarize (briefly I hope) my first day in class, I will summarize my Central Park walk.
Saturday.
I met a new e-pal and we went walking through Central Park. For the last few weeks, we've been exchanging e-mails. I answered her ad from Craigslist. She was looking for new friends, I was looking for e-pals. It was interesting to find that we have several things in common:
We have the same last name
We have similar occupations
We are the same age
We have like the same kinds of movies
We both enjoy walking
Finally, we decided to meet. We met on 72nd street at the Broadway train station at about 1pm. I arrived about 12pm. The #1 train line was under construction, so it took longer for me to arrive, but I was still early. My e-pal arrived a little past 1pm, she walked past me a couple of times talking on her telephone, so I thought she was not the person. However, she eventually came up and introduced herself to me. Maybe she was worried that I was a nutcase.
We walked (and talked) around Central Park for a couple of hours, About 4:30pm, we ate a lite dinner at a Subways restaurant. We then walked around looking for an ice cream shop. On the way looking for an ice cream shop, we stopped at a book store. She looked around, I went to the bathroom. We finally found a yogurt/ice cream shop near Lincoln Center (around 60th street). I had a bananna split.
After the ice cream, my e-pal took me to a Whole Foods store at 59th street and Columbus Circle. I was very impressed with the food store. At first I was a bit turned off by the high prices, but the more I thought about it, the more I liked the store. I think I am going to return to the Whole Foods store. I enjoyed the walk. I will post another time some photos that I took during our walk.
About 6pm, my e-pal told me that she likes to be home before it gets dark (another similarity). We went our separate ways at the train station at Columbus Circle. When I returned home, I did my 45 minutes on my rowing machine. The results were posted on a previous entry.
