One of the many great things about blogs is that you can find people who have been long lost to you or they can find you and immediately get up to speed on your life. This happened recently with my friend Julie in New York. We were in college together and have been in touch through a mutual friend on and off for years - but then a comment shows up from her here. And in turn I get to read what she's been thinking and doing and see pics of her life in New York. So much more efficient than a phone call and the several conversations it would take to get up to speed. Both Julie and her sister Shelley are talented, smart, politically conscious, cool, unique, and fun people. I loved her entry today. See for yourself.
