The trick is to keep breathing

Work has been crazy busy lately -- our usual busy time of the year -- but I've got a short respite until after Thanksgiving.

Haven't had a chance to process everything from my Korea trip over the summer, let alone write anything down. When I finally write about what happened and some of my crazy experiences, I may have to create another blog somewhere in the blogosphere because posting under The Hyphenator just doesn't seem appropriate.

For now I'll leave you with a link to the New York Times' "Relative Choices: Adoption and the American Family" blog section.

I've been trying to catch up on my blog reading, and have been reading the NYT posts and the numerous comments during my downtime, which probably isn't the greatest idea because I either end up in tears or pissed off. But I'm glad to see I'm not the only one upset over Tama Janowitz's article/post, "The Real Thing," and the NYT's consoring of readers' comments -- TTR has a blog post that addresses this one and includes some links to other blogs as well.

Finally, The Hyphenator's advice for the day: Look up the correct usage of "their," "they're," and "there" if you don't know!

Day in Pictures

I find this photo and caption disturbing: SF Gate's Day in Pictures .

18 million and growing!
