What Did I Do Today? I Kept Track, I Flossed, talked with my virtual offspring, Birded, and Wrote. Same Sort of Activities.On the Wonders of Computers, the Ether, Cows that Tweet, and Isabel Scheherazade Who Has Her Own Blog along with Me and Toni on Words We Women Write. (A NYT piece on tracking devices has sent me off thinking of other ways to keep track: a 420 Character, 9-Liner.)

I’m happy the space program turbo-charged computer chip development which,

after peculiar permutations, got me into the ether.

How else could I have learned that on July 14, 2011

a cow named Goldwyn Windy tweeted

“I just squirted 18.9 kgs of milk out of my teats in 7:10 minutes.

What did you do today?”

How else could I have begat a “virtual” Scheherazade

who blogs and advises us in her 10-year old voice?

I’m happy.
