Getting to Know Me

I’ve been trying to pry myself bit by bit away from political writing – obviously it was at the forefront of many of our minds until a few days ago so it is understandable.  But it seems to have possessed too much of my time and my thoughts and has started to keep me from pursuing my other interests or allowing myself to be the light-hearted individual I traditionally tend to be.

What Would You Do If I Sang Out Of Tune?

So I was listening to the radio the other day on my commute to work and overheard an interview with Danica McKellar.  She was on promoting her new math for girls book called Kiss My Math.
