The Smartest Woman in the Room

Now that the political season is here, I want to recommend a blog called My Life and Times, but which I think of as "Ann's Life." My brilliant and talented friend Ann lives in Washington state and writes about, as she says, anything she darn well pleases. And it does please, since Ann is funny, articulate and knowledgeable. She's also a fellow professional writer and editor with a gift for deconstructing the complicated stuff so everyone can understand it. A rare gift these days.

So go, read, enjoy. Your brain will thank you for it.
