Every so often, I've got a wonderful bit of advice or a sage opinion but no one to share it with. So I've created this weblog, Povinovinonon, to give unsolicited advice to the world at large. My husband, George, who has even more interesting opinions and good advice than I do, will also occasionally be posting in here.

Yes, the title of this blog is a made-up word. I found it in a diary entry that I wrote when I was a freshman in high school, where I defined povinovinonon as "a combination of point of view, opinion, and something else that I can't remember right now." I think that's as good a definition as any for what I intend for this blog to be.
