Not for everyone

If you are noticing that there are additions to the right side of my blog posts, if nothing else that means you don't have tunnel vision.  Good job!

Having said that I realize full well that some of the things that I find interesting and/or informative are not necessarily of interest to everyone - certainly not everyone who follows my blog,

Various things interest me that probably make some of you want to throw up your hands and wonder "why would she even?".

That is the beauty of variety - even in a library there are a lot of things I couldn't care less about while others might think they were awesome.  That's why libraries are so full of books.  Something for everyone.

The blogs I follow and read swing to both ends of the spectrum:  the Sunshine Guerrilla is my nephew's daughter.  A young woman who is determined to (a) make us all more informed, (b) make us better people and (c) save the planet in the process.  At the rate she is going I think she might actually have an appreciable impact.

The Curmudgucation blog is my nephew (her father) who is a passionate and articulate English teacher who fights the good fight for quality education in the best possible way.  He's also a damn good musician and a talented author.

The You Me And The After is a friend of mine who is, like me, trying to find his blogging way through the day to day minutiae of existence the best way he can.  He has, as do I, varied interests and some memories of the older way of doing things which color his blog posts in an extremely individual fashion.

All of the above is meant to explain that none of these are necessarily anything you are in the least interested in and that's ok.  As a matter of fact, that's great!  If we all thought alike there would be nothing to argue about.

So follow the links if you are so inclined but if you're not:  don't.  It's as easy as that.
