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.
