I’ve been decidedly lax about linking to my blog-children’s posts recently. Sorry. In addition to Jen’s “Vote!” post, there is my mom’s joyful post about her new job, and Becky’s birthday greetings for me (aww).

Becky also discusses her troubles with an a**hole at her university who thinks clinical depression can be cured by “taking a walk.” (What’s more, now we’ve got a commenter who agrees with the a**hole. “Suck it up,” she says. Ain’t ignorance grand?)
