I am Woman, Hear Me Roar

I’m always amazed at how things come together rather serendipitously. And indeed that is what happened today.
Last night, I was talking to the Contrarian about some of the blogs I had been reading the last couple of days. The gist of things was that a lot of women who I have come to respect most [...]

A New Planet Called McCainland
