soccer & honesty

After that very righteous last post, I have to admit we didn't go to the rally. Joey said he'd rather go to his brother's soccer game, and like John Irving said in today's New York Times, you can't impose your politics on your children (though I don't agree that that was a valid excuse for Irving to take his 13-year-old to meet with Laura Bush!)I plan to make it up this week, by taking the time to sign some email petitions and send a donation to Doctors Without Borders, the most impressive philanthropy I've ever seen. I was so struck by reading about all the parents who did manage to take their kids out to be counted. And without a doubt, there'll be other opportunities.

In the meantime, a bit of specific Mommy Brain news. The book got a wonderful write-up in the National Review (and I got an invitation to speak to the Young Republicans!) and will be the subject of a takeout later this fall in the Boston Globe. The reporter, whose questions were great overall, asked me what kind of research I'd most like to see in the future, concerning the maternal brain. I said: more research on the paternal brain, and what mothers can do to get fathers to do more at home. She laughed, but I'm serious.
