Copyright 2006 Sat, 11 Mar 2006 10:09:38 -0500 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.11 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss I was writing an email to a friend last week. She asked about my mom's breats cancer story and I answered in a way that inspired me to revisit the blogging habit. Her reaction to my email made me think... http://wrt-brooke.syr.edu/net/dianna/archives/2006/03/stepping_up_and.html http://wrt-brooke.syr.edu/net/dianna/archives/2006/03/stepping_up_and.html Inspired by Mom Sat, 11 Mar 2006 10:09:38 -0500 Yeah, you got it. This is the email that made me think about blogging some of this.

Funny. I never really think about "being" as either static or fluid, but somewhere inbetween.
