Lots of fun yesterday at doll club. I am now the vice-president (Ha! as much responsibility as any vice president) and I get to sit in the front in a nice chair. I missed the September meeting and so brought all the stuff I’d been working on since early June. Turned out to be a lot!

I also got to see one of the dolls from my workshop last summer, almost finished. I love it! Thanks Sue!

I am always amazed by the ways the internet wraps around the world. My daughter, Eleanor, who is in Cape Town for a Junior year abroad from college, was IMing with my husband, Ben this morning, in the Boston area. She pointed out that this blog, Puppetry News, had a photo of a church that is right around the corner from my house- which maybe doesn’t sound surprising except this is a blog of an African puppeteer who currently lives in Australia and was visiting the US.

Well, anyway- here is something else I’ve been thinking about- comments. I regularly read a fair number of blogs- probably around 100. Also, I have a group of contacts on Flickr whose work I regularly check out. I try to comment often, although I don’t do it enough. I notice that no matter how much I like something or want to comment on it, if there are already lots of comments, more then 10 say, I am very unlikely to add mine… somehow I feel intimidated, or like whatever I have to say has probably already been said. It leaves me feeling a tiny bit guilty for not doing my bit…
