All around the mulberry bush,The monkey chased the weasel . . . Just thought you’d need that tune in your head before you read this post. Inspired by Bitch, Ph.D.’s post about the question of women bloggers being raised yet again, I thought I’d link around and summarize a bit. I am trying my best…

Sometimes I think about what might have been, if I’d just been born a few years later–say 1972. Actually maybe 1976. When I see all the great stuff that’s going on–and has been going on–in the technology world, I feel a little left out. Which is odd given that I work in a technology field.…

To me! Yay! I’m headed to 40 more quickly than I thought possible. I don’t feel anywhere close to 40. I have to say that in the last 24 hours, the blog world has really raised my spirits. I was tickled at the P/H meme. I was also tickled at the mommy blog thread at…
