Amazing. As hard as it is for me to believe, it looks as though I might have spawned another one. One of my regular commenters has decided to dip her foot into the blogosphere.

Thanks for the plug, Orac. Now I'll just have to come down and take you for a spin on the back of the bike. I think you'll fit very nicely in the top box (how big are you? It's hard to tell from the picture) :)
There will be other subjects, too. The title would have just been unwieldy if I'd listed medicine, books, traveling, nursing stories, midwifery stories.....I can just say that, like a Renaissance (wo)man, I have many interests.
