(first things first)

The need for communication produced the pony express, cell phones and the internet. And the message in a bottle. Not everyone has been concerned about getting a message to a specific person. Was the first bottle dropped into the sea with a mixture of hope and desperation? Or curiousity? Maybe it is the need to reach out and make new connections. For centuries the simple act has been repeated. Write a note, seal it inside a bottle and toss it into the ocean. Some wash up in days. Some take years. Some have never been found.

This is my message in a bottle. I'm tossing into this great new ocean. Who knows what will happen next.
