First Time For Everything

Living "abroad" for almost 20 years in a seemingly timeless bubble, I thought I'd follow the example of my 13yr old and ask the question...IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE? It's a question more to myself than anything right now. Having discovered only yesterday that intelligent and healthily beligerant females of my own gen (x) do this. Of course I can't pretend to speak out with the elegance and informed confidence i've encountered over the last 8 hrs of surfing but oh well. Stream of conciousness. It's is a start and that's all I'm asking for. So,let's see what this becomes.
