Holy mackerel - what a voice! Who the heck is she? I tried Google and all I got was a medical school administrator. Can't be.

I found it via a blog, might have been Chicago Boyz, she is a relative of one of them there. I take the chance whenever I can to post it, it's kind of special.

Q: Why do I blog?
A: I could babble to my friends about all the things that interest me, but few would stay awake let alone be interested let alone share their own thoughts back. A journal might work, but who'd give feedback? On a blog, people might stop by on purpose or by accident and might be amused or interested or angry or whatever and might even add their own thoughts. Plus, it's a way to leave my thoughts (a/k/a myself) for my children and grandchildren to know me better. Assuming they want to, ha ha, and assuming they read it, of course.
