If you missed the previously featured interview with Donna Mugavero on SheThought, head to Ms Information – Communicating the Message in the Skeptiverse, by Sharon Hill. “If there’s a problem you can always rely Continue reading The Who, What, Where, When And Why Of The Ms Information Music Video Disclaimer: Nikki Stern pays me a modest salary to write for her at Does This Make Sense. I have also received swag in the form of a very attractive coffee mug and a review copy of this book.

Untimely storms makes Continue reading A Midsummer Night’s Scheme When I moved to Spofford Village in New Hampshire almost twenty years ago, I knew that I had found a wonderful, special place.
