To Blog or Not to Blog

Welcome to my blog, and please pardon any glob you find as my typing has never been great. I never thought I would have a blog, because I have trouble keeping up the daily e-mails, and I think people already have too much information or misinformation to slog through. Why would anyone with a free moment want to squander it getting bogged down in my blog? I do hope to learn much from probing other blogs, and so I guess it is just polite to reciprocate.

I do not know how to reciprocate for all the time that Lucille Boone spent, so patiently, taking me through this process of setting up a g-mail account and blog. By the time she left, my earphones that I had forgotten about from my 2.0 lessons, had shifted to my mid forehead, and were now at a 90 degree angle to my ears. Anything entering my brain would have to be by way of bone conduction at that point, so while I looked preposterous, I had emerged from that muddle of words and passwords with a blog. Lucille got me through it, and I thank her very much!

I have now untangled the earphones and calmed down. I am looking forward to letting you know about a great gathering of elected officials, medical providers, and just people concerned about health care coming together on Feb. 12 at 7:00 at Shir Hadash in Los Gatos. I also want to tell you about my friend's book that has just been published and that Amazon has sold out of it's first supply! "The title is Dancing in My Mother's Slippers." I have already laughed through some tears while reading the first 30 pages of Fayegail Mandell's book.

It may turn out that I do have some things to say that might just be of interest that might help untangle some bureaucratic or emotional knots that entangle some of us.

Take care, untangle.

As I was fluttering low over the Learning 2.0 landscape, one of my bird feet became entangled in the bright threads of this blog. While attempting to disentangle a claw, I found myself getting more and more caught up in its colorful warp. Guess I'll have to hang around a bit longer and see what develops before I can take off again.
