In addition to this blog, I have a travel blog at: http://solowomenathomeandabroad.blogspot.com/
and a “literary” blog (mostly previously published short stories) at: http://vpascoefiction.blogspot.com/
I’ve also started a blog on “metaphysical” topics entitled: http://spiritandscience.net/
and one related to the function and maintenance of the body at: http://caringforyourbody.wordpress.com/
These are from my heart and mind to yours. Enjoy, learn, and interact.

Hi Joanne. I was reading your fascinating blog on contraception, got to the part about maternal death rates long ago, started reading aloud to my husband. His grandparents emigrated from Cornwall to the U.P. in the late 19th century; his father was one of 7 brothers to work in the mines… Fascinating tiny world we live in, isn’t it. Email me some time, fjohns33@mindspring.com.
How fascinating! And a coincidence. Yes, the wider we roam (on land or the internet), the smaller the world seems. My grandfather was a Pascoe – a common Cornish name and pretty common in the UP.
