How lucky we are. How large our world has become. Even if the people we find are right next door. Amen to that. You put it beautifully, that's exactly how I feel. There's a lot of negativity about the internet and what it does to social interactions, and I understand completely where it's coming from (I'm an awful luddite mysef, mostly out of fear and incompetence), but in the end I'm in awe--just in awe--of the way it seems paradoxically to at once expand our world in amazing and mind-bending and enlightening ways, and then at the same time make it smaller, bringing us closer and closer together and closer to understanding each other. When I read the posts from all our lovely Finns, for example, or from Catz, or from the magical Gelly (although sometimes I refuse to believe she is entirely real and not just some sort of laboratory amalgamation of awesomenesses) or from the irrepressible ilovehawaiian (--I loved reading your tweet stream from the Moscow concert, btw, when I finally had time and felt well enough to catch up on that stuff--it was sooo happy and authentic and recognizable from half a world away) the language, the emotions, the reactions, the HUMOR!! (which was supposed to be so localized, always, but the internet has proved it isn't)--all show me how small our world is, how familiar even the farthest corners of it are, how similar we all are even in our diversity (a diversity NoAngel wrote about so wisely today). Everyone is SO EASY TO TALK TO! and this from a girl who is generally too shy to talk to anyone in RL. It's kinda like what Adam said about music being universal, and how his world tour really proved that to him movingly--well, it's not just music, though music helps, and it sounds like a cheesy truism, cause it is, but I'll say it anyway, humanity is universal. And I'll always be grateful to this crazy-ass stanning experience, and to the brave new wifi world that makes it possible, for teaching me so much along these social lines. The internet lets one recognize strangers. I mean, when I was out there floating in the international ether at MJs and suddenly recognized someone who lives right next door, I thought, gosh, all these people, all these anonymous sexy Adam faces, all these weirdly spelled and numbered names, they're all real people, they're all flesh and bone neighbors, and in that big wide world of neighbors I find mine. Indeed it is a brave new world that has such people in it. SO NICA, I loved your wave-out-the-window story. I bet everyone here could wave out their window to an Adam fan, if they only knew where to look! What a great story! I miss amw! I know she posts once and a while late at night, know she must be very busy! I know, right? Aloha's quite right, AMW is a totally irrepressible soul, and nothing can stop her Adam passion. She still checks out the headlines here every day, I assure you. She's just real busy and also finding some wonderful balance in her life, which is good, too. But don't let her fool you, the opening strains of WLL will still get her wiggling irresistibly. She's only playing at sanity! midwifespal - to you!

Awww, gelly & kapsiz, your families are beautiful! Talking of children's ages makes me feel sooooo old. My baby girl is 37 and her brother is 45!! Hmm. Wasn't I just 45 the last time I checked? ??? :( Oh well, it's all in the attitude, not the number, right? ;D glamnana - it's ALWAYS in the attitude! <3

My youngest brother Brian with his youngest son Zachary (my Z-Man ) at Fenway Park yesterday! Zach was invited to play for a team at Cooperstown! His big Bro is Justin - the one I told you about who's plays Pro-BB in Sweden! (they went to a Red Sox game before driving to Cooperstown!)
