Great story! I've been a fan of Benac.com for years. I started a blog of my own last August, but I'm not a confident blogger yet so I don't share it much. I'd use my age as an excuse, but Barbara is almost as old as I am! She is an inspiration. One of my entries is about "Degrees of Separation" and how blogging relates to that - I started out reading Barbara's website, then her kids' blogs and then I linked to the blogs that they are connected to .... interesting reading. Sarah is a hoot! She might not appreciate the analogy, but I think she is her generation's Erma Bombeck.
