I've reconnected with a few old friends.  I joined when a friend send
me an invite.

Just this past week an old friend contacted me looking for a job lead
and I asked him for a
resume to send to another friend.  I found it interesting his resume
lacked the "once ran for Congress"
entry it could have contained.

That alone has been useful to me.  If I ever need to search for a job,
I'll certainly give it a shot.
