It's Day 31 of this 35 day project. (The set thus far.) This is the page of the notebooks that has the least to do with Amsterdam. I was just watching TV, "Oprah," to be exact. Gail Sheehy was on, pushing her then-new book about menopause, "The Silent Passage." Looking back on this drawing, I notice it's lot like blogging. I copy out a (near) quote that happens to strike me and then make my own comment. Sheehy was strongly pushing hormone replacement therapy back then, and subsequent reports about that were very negative. I was struck by the fact that it was testosterone that women needed to preserve their sexual feelings.

I was struck by the same thing about your entire "Amsterdam Notebook" project: this is an example of an early form of blogging. (Except you used pen and ink in lieu of a digital camera.) Or would it be more accurate to say that blogging is an evolved state of notebooking? (Oooh, I said "evolved." Hope the use of that word doesn't hijack these comments.)
Ohiomike: I wrote this more than 10 years ago and it was the first I'd ever heard about testosterone in women. I thought it was interesting and played with the idea. Don't take it so hard!
