Not only a blogger, grandmother and former educator but one who understands connections. I remember Anne Davis blogging a while back about hooking up with Ewan’s Mom in San Francisco. I remember reading it at the time and thinking, this is pretty cool and serendipitous. Here Anne, travels to San Francisco, when Ewan, from Scotland sets up a meeting between Anne and his Mom, or is it Mum?, who, also from Scotland happens to be in S.F. Wild stuff.

We've now left SF and are with friends in Virginia - friends with a Mac in the room next to ours! So instead of going to bed I'm working off the time-lag with a few mails.... We thought Atalanta was HUGE as we passed through today - and we thought of you, somewhere in all that, blogging away with your kids. A huge place, but a shrinking world!

I spent the weekend with people I read but don't see often (Hugh Macleod, the UK's no. 1 blogger) after yet another moment of serendipity. How does all this happen? If the students want to get the most out of *writing* their blog they just need to *read* as much as they can and as quickly as they can. After a moment you start to see a bigger picture or a detail that can be exploited to create something new - like a dinner for two old/new friends! I’m so glad things worked out so well.
