Do you have a blog?

At a party in January, a woman asked me if I had a blog. The way she asked, it sounded like she thought having a blog was as normal as owning a telephone. “What a funny question,” I thought. “What on earth would I have to write about?”

Then in January my sister (33-years old) was diagnosed with breast cancer. She started a blog to keep everyone updated about her treatments. I started reading her blog, and all the blogs she linked to (all her friends’ blogs) and soon it didn’t seem like such a strange thing to do.
