Hey there.
I thought I would say hello. I am, as I trust you are, thoroughly enjoying watching this daily series develop, and watching the talent of the Planet Waves writers come out. Particularly on days like today when I have a bit of other writing to do, let’s see, I did four articles today…it is reassuring to know that some great knowledge is being created and passed along. The comments are always a LOT of fun. If you’re one of the readers who chimes in with your wisdom and insight, thank you.

I keep wanting to do a credits page with photos for the writers, but you know how it is. So I’ll just introduce the crew. This page is headed up by Rachel Asher, who lives between Orange County, New York (about an hour south of Kingston) and Ireland. Rachel started in the spring as an offensive-line research assistant, and when the moment came to recruit a full-time editor, she was the obvious choice. Then I discovered that she could write, and then she started writing better stuff, interesting stuff, and she grooves on gender studies (one of my obsessions).
Rachel is a Libra and I better ask her what sign her Moon is in — I don’t know. It must be something durable; she can handle me. This morning I dreamed she was the Earth Mother.
There is no more satisfying feeling as an editor than watching your writers develop; and this holds especially true, in my opinion, for women, whose voices are so often shut down in our blather-mouthed, commercialized society, and for no good reason. So…onward with the credits and if you want to join our writing team, drop one of us a note.
