PBS is running a new version of Jane Austen's "Persuasion" this Sunday, January 13, and they asked me to comment on it on their PBS.org blog, Remotely Connected.
Watch the movie, then read my review and leave a comment.

Moxie's reading
Mat Johnson: Pym: A Novel
So far this book is everything. Like, everything in literature and exploration and culture all taken in and then spit back out like a serrated knife through soft butter.Steven Gary Blank: The Four Steps to the Epiphany: Successful Strategies for Products that Win
Dense, with valuable ideas on every page.
The 10-year-old's reading
Douglas Adams: The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Franz Babinger: Mehmed the Conqueror and His Time
Yes, he's reading this huge academic tome. A friend gave it to me, and when I handed it to my son he said, "I've heard a lot about this dude! Cool!" Nerdtastic.
The 7-year-old's reading
Jeff Kinney: Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 1
He's ripping through this one.Susan Champlin: Fight for Freedom (Cartoon Chronicles of America)

- My expertise is in helping people be who they want to be, with a specialty in how being a parent fits into everything else. I like people. I like parents. I think you're doing a fantastic job. The nitty-gritty of what you do with your kids is up to you, although I'm happy to post questions here to get data points of how you could try approaching different stages, because, let's face it, this shit is hard. As for me, I have two kids who sleep through the night and can tie their own shoes. I've been a married SAHM, a married freelance WAHM, a divorcing WOHM, a divorced WOHM, and now a WAHM again. I'm not buying the Mommy Wars and I'll come sit next to you no matter how you're feeding your kid. When in doubt, follow the money trail. And don't believe the hype.
Wow. You were pretty damn cool before, but reviewing Jane Austen for PBS trumps ALL in my book.

Absolutely! I am definitely planning on watching it, but my love for Ciarin Hinds as Captain Wentworth is so very strong...

I am so glad that I am not the only woman who thinks Tom Silva is hott (even though he is old enough to be my father). This week's TOH had him Errol Flynning down the stairs (the homeowner is an Olympic fencer) and I had to fan myself.

These days, most talk about aid acknowledges the fact that good governance is a precondition of poverty eradication.
