This week is more of an advertisement for my mom’s blog than a standard post on my own, but hey, it’s cool and it’s geeky, so I’m counting it.
Almost two years ago, my mother decided to join me in the land of weekly blog posts (something that she is much better at keeping up with than I am), and not just as my editor. She got her own website, entitled Mom’s Guide to the Galaxy, where she talks about, well, everything.
Unlike Random Geek Child, Mom’s Guide to the Galaxy is largely direct personal information. She talks about our garden, our cats, karate, books… like I said, kind of just everything. In general, her writing is more cohesive and better at explaining things than mine, probably because my mind jumps from A to G with nothing in between, and then I have to try and fill in the blank. But whatever the reason, I find her writing to be surprisingly enjoyable. I mean, I always knew she could write fiction (see the Papa’s Gift series, part 1 here) but she also somehow manages to make the real world seem interesting, a difficult feat indeed. I won’t gives you specific examples for that one, since they make up most of the website. Go find them yourself.
