Greetings, and welcome to my first-ever blog. For a long time, my sister, Miriam, has been telling me I should have a blog. Many friends have been telling me that I should look beyond mainstream (i.e., print) media to get my words out. Why the resistance? I feel sometimes like technology's lost generation. To give some perspective: when I started college, I typed my term papers on a Smith-Corona (albeit electric); by the time I graduated, there were computers in the basement of Canaday Library at Bryn Mawr College.
My father used to compress time for us. "Your grandfather was six years old when Queen Victoria died." This is the leapfrogging of time that Daniel Mendelsohn describes in his book, The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million.
