Well actually it is an article on Dagny but I am the "52 year old woman"
I felt the writer did a very nice job of catching the essence of Dagny and her training. AND I was very glad she didn't make us out to be a total hick town in the sticks.
Here is the article if anyone is interested in reading it.

I'm in the washington post!
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination

Cool. I read that in the paper yesterday, and thought she is an amazing girl to be able to go so far without an army to support her.

That's great. I saw Dagny's photo but didn't read the story.
The vulgarians who share our office suite at work were making fun of her name (these are "professionals" who belch loudly and pass gas in the office--say no more). I love her name, by the way. Is it Norwegian?

You get used to going out w/ wet hair that freezes immediately.
Hey today we are having a heat wave- it is currently +40 F! this time last week was -10 F maybe we will get spring someday!
