Okay, most of you who follow the blog may have already seen this through Facebook. For those who might not and even who have, a little more background.

I joined Womens Military Alliance a few years ago and of course am a charter member of Women in Military Service of America Foundation (WIMSA). Other organizations and networks are then linked into those. Right around the holidays Captains Kim and Dakota contacted me about doing an episode for their podcast, Dogtag Diaries. I had never done a podcast although I have done a number of radio interviews. The difference in this case was length and it wasn’t broadcast live.  We set up a date and Captain Kim was the interviewer. I didn’t realize we were going so far back into my growing up background and it certainly stirred a lot of memories. The session is 40 minutes long and my suggestion is to have a favorite beverage on hand while listening. Many of the things I discuss have been the subject of my blog posts at different times. The interview also reminded my of subjects I recently posted about because I hadn’t thought of those for a long time. There is a lot of laughing involved in looking back, too.

On the everyday note, I would like to say things are settling down a bit, but we have the Carnival of the Arts on March 8th and dues to another of those convergences and some decisions I have made about new activities we are going to try, I have once again taken on extra tasks I had not intended. This is the old risk/reward aspect of taking a risk that we will get a larger turnout for the event. A larger turnout is the goal and will be the reward. Whether it will work or not is what we shall see.
