Poster child

Writing this blog is not really a natural thing for me in the sense that I'm a bit uncomfortable writing about myself..my 17 is horrified by these postings, partly bec it seems promotional (he's right), partly because he thinks that anyone over, say, 30 shouldn't know about blogs (he's kind of wrong) and mostly because he's worried I will talk about him (well,ok, I might, but I won't mention him by name). My sage 20 year old daughter is just amused by this process...
