I think this is the first time I've been asked to tell more about myself as a reader, but here goes! I live smack in the middle of the American tundra, where the wind whips over grassland and the horizon is disconcertingly large. (I grew up on the East Coast, so the wide open spaces have been an adjustment.) But the weather--when it's not Winter--is fine and the local theaters usually have at least one foreign film playing, so the area has its good side, too. I started following your blog site about six months ago, after reading an article about professional blogs. (I also found a number of other great sites like Waiter Rant and The Policeman's Blog) I don't have any connection to the medical world or the other blog-writers' professions, but I love reading quirks and details involved in how people spend 8+ hours of their waking lives. It's almost like letting us in on some cache of secret knowledge. Reading your entries is one of the best things about my lunch breaks! I have a blog site (www.livejournal.com/users/gwench) on which I post amateur film reviews and a mish-mash of stuff. It's been a little bare lately, but I hope to update it today or tomorrow. (Too many summer films, too few things to say about them.) Cheers,
