Baby Food from the New Yorker

Though I'm not at this stage in my life yet, I came across a very interesting article in the New Yorker by Jill Lapore about the politics of the breast pump.  It poses quite a question about making workplaces friendly for working mothers (luxurious lactation room?) and asks which is more important, the mother or the milk?  Should a women take 20 minute breaks to express her milk or leave the office an hour earlier to feed her baby formula?  

One of my "adopted mothers" is a childbirth educator, so I tend to send her articles like these that I come across.  This is definitely a topic I consider important, as this will likely impact me eventually too.   

President Obama has such a nice ring to it.

First of all, it is time that "Obama" is added to standard computer dictionaries so it doesn't come up on spell check.  

This is amazing in so many ways.  What an honor it is to be an American right now.

This means I'm now an ObaMarathoner, and at work I can now quit "straterigizing" and start strategizing once again.

Yesterday I missed the speech at work, but I am looking forward to downloading it on NPR and listening to it on my run tonight.

Congratulations, President Obama!
