This is so cool! Recently my sister loaned me the Susan Stamberg book, Every Night at Five, because she was an intern at NPR while Susan worked on the book and she found a copy at a thrift shop. Leafing through the book I was very surprised to see a response to a question that had been posed on All Things Considered about how things were going to be in the future, i.e. now. The comment was signed with a name very familiar to me, the name both my father and brother use. The comment was thoughtful and on point. Turns out it was my brother who commented, my brother who has become a conspiracy theorist, Qanon, MAGA, evangelical nut job. How different things turned out for him.

Thanks for reminiscing on the concept of blogging. It takes on many shapes, but for me it was such a good outlet while I was caring for my mom with Alzheimer’s. Even with just a handful of readers. And it launched my writing career, morphing into food writing.
