I don’t seem to be a very good blogger while on maternity leave – but that’s OK, I’ll be back after the New Year when I’m at work again, I’m sure. There are so many things I could have blogged over the last months, but it’s a lot easier to read blogs than to type blog posts while you’re nursing and otherwise looking after a baby, so I’ve thought more blog posts than I’ve written.

Here’s a post that’s easy to do, because the AARP has practically done it for me: look, type your name into the box below and see it emblazoned throughout the video. It’s kind of fun – and a cool strategy for trying to make a video go viral. It’s also interesting that the AARP is an organisation for over-fifty-year-olds and (in my non-American ignorance) not a traditional political organisation. And of course the message is simply to get out and vote.
