And I encourage you to take me to task as well. As with any blog, a big part of my job is to encourage readers to turn the blog into a running dialogue. I'm hoping some of my best posts will be follow-up interviews and debates with people who see an issue in a different light from me.

"Kit Kittredge: An American Girl" opened last week, I knew I was out my league trying to offer any opinions, so I posted a review of the film from the smartest 10-year-old girl I knew. If anyone ever makes a movie about free-spirited seventysomethings, I expect you'll hear my mother's take on the subject.
