Carol and Paula



Paula: Carol is equal parts optimist and skeptic. On the one hand, there is no problem she hasn't attempted to solve with a self-help book. On the other hand, how can we know anything with certainty?

But in a effort to get to the bottom of that, and many other questions, Carol looks deep -- really deep into the details. In fact she loves the detail! No detail is too small. Or maybe its that she likes small things, like her! From tiny homes and tiny bits of code to tiny typographical devices and words, the smaller the better.

But what I like best about Carol, and why she's a great conversationalist and book reviewer, is that she's curious and wants to explore new sights, sounds and ideas (and lets face it, when our memories start to go, everything's new!) Seriously, she asks great probing questions and you know she'll get to the heart of the matter. And she wants to read a lot of books! That's why we started this blog.
 
Carol: When she's not sampling new perfumes, doting on her nieces and nephews, or experimenting with new recipes, Paula loves Opera, Broadway musicals, and all things digital. A native Wisconsinite, she enjoys traveling and her journeys have reached England, Spain and Italy. Paula is intrigued by what motivates folks.
 
She's a liberal, and as JFK said, "If by a Liberal they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a Liberal, then I'm proud to say I'm a Liberal."
 
A fondness for reading and debating led to the creation of this blog.
