My sister Lisa started to blog recently. I’m very excited for her.
I think Lisa may be the perfect social media machine: 1) she’s witty 2) she writes and has taken creative writing classes (though you think they would have fixed her capitalization tendencies) 3) she has interesting things to say 4) she knows information organization cold, with an MS in Library Science and experiencing putting together book indexes (indices?).
To be perfectly honest I’m jealous of my sister’s spirituality and how she’s integrated it with her life and work as a massage therapist + energy worker. So I’m excited to see her perspective on things and how it can help me sell legal software more effectively.
Here’s a brief snippet of a recent post, where she talks about “Counting the Omer”, a yearly ritual following the first Passover seder (I think).
“for those of you not counting, today is the 2nd day of the omer, or the counting of the omer. 47 more days to go.
an omer is, or was, a measurement of wheat, a sheaf, perhaps, i don’t know. i’m sure there are those out there who do. i’ve only managed to get the whole way through the counting twice before. you’d think it wouldn’t be that hard to count to 49, would you? i mean, i can count even higher. with my eyes closed, even”

thanks for the shout out, larry. i will do my best to help sell your legal software. just so you know, i want my commission in omer.
according to online merriam-webster, either indexes or indices is accepatable. so far my cataloging skills has not been particularly helpful in any technical sense, but it has been fun coming up with tags for the posts…
gotta go put a rocket matter link on my website.
