I heard on NPR

today...

that is a very common way for me to start a sentence.

More common the longer my commute.

But today I heard on NPR that you should google yourself, and perhaps consider a myname.com website, to make sure that you are in control of others first impressions. I am not sure that given these meager postings anyone would even find me, more likely to think I am dead, based on the obituaries that came up first int eh google search, Did you know there are 22 Jane Dempseys on Linked in? That seems significant as I was born on the 22nd...

So even if this blog just takes you to Laura, who is a gifted writer, at least I am making myself available to you for my own version of a first impression.
