Yes, I’m on vacation and I’m sitting in a room with wall to wall windows looking out over the ocean.  But, the kids are asleep and the men-folk have gone to the deli to hunt down some lunch so I’ve got some time to kill.

There was a bit of a self-created hubub over at Simple Justice the other day and I admit to liking the attention (45 comments!  About me!), not because it boosted my SEO (if you google my name, this site comes up, but, it doesn’t help business since there is no way from here for you to call me up to hire me) but because I am vain and I like it when people think I’m worthy of spending time on.  In the meantime, I think Brain Tannebaum and regular Simple Justice reader and commenter Lee Stonum proved my point about what can and cannot be accomplished by blogging. (Lee pops over here every once in a while too.)

Let’s be honest, these days its hard to use your real name and pretend to be something you’re not.  If you have a few minutes and google my name, you’ll see that I’ve tried cases before.  I was with the A.G’s office in New York under Elliott Spitzer, I ran the Marine Corps Marathon and I’m fairly active with Afghan and Muslim organizations.  My blog will not be able to convince you that I am someone else.  Besides, look at that picture over there, doesn’t that LOOK like the picture of a kick ass lawyer? 

I think, though, that Mr. Greenfield has a point.  Not that I think blogging will get one of those guys to throw me a case if one comes up in Maryland, but that its probably a good idea to spread my wings a bit and extend my reach.  I blog about things I know right now, things I am comfortable with and well, maybe its time to stop doing that.   I don’t think I need to do it to keep up with the guys because, well, I’m not a guy.  I LIKE being a girl.  I LIKE that my perspective and my audience is different.

If someone calls this a mommy blog, well, they clearly have never read a mommy blog before.  I can direct your attention to mommy blogs if you’d like and then you’d see the difference (hats off to one of my favorite mommy blogs)

Lunch is here and the beach is calling.  If you don’t believe I’m here, check out my facebook page.
