Begin where?

... at the beginning, I suppose.

Inspired by faireknitter, I've decided that blogging may be the easiest way to communicate with family and friends. Anticipated topic areas:

• My thumbs -- I've been thumb-wrestling with deQuervain's for almost a year. deQuervain's is winning. Yay.
• Being a nerd. Specifically, being a XX-chromosome over-40 nerd. I can feel you falling asleep now...
• Science fiction fandom.
• Writing.
  
• Politics, feminism, family, and other topics guaranteed to get me in trouble. :D
