Or, at least, my name has...
Curiously, someone named Janet Levine, on the blog "black-eyed pea cake tasters" has quite a developed idea of what characteristics my name evokes.
Honestly, while I've always LIKED my name well enough, it never has occurred to me that anyone else would be particularly drawn to it....
Here is what happened:
I was idly procrastinating, and did a Google blog search on my name, rather than any of the 8 billion tasks I really need to get finished by this Thursday.
NB-this blog post is another fine example of such procrastinations....
I was shocked, flabbergasted, amazed and alarmed to find a blog posting speculating on the kinds of qualities that someone named Martha Lewis might have!
-I advise each and every one of you reading this now, to pause and do a quick "Google blog search" on your own name, so that we can ascertain for certain, right this instant, if this is some sort of mass conspiracy or not.-
I feel like I'm in a Borges story, or perhaps Kafka.
Here is the link to Ms. Levine's posting, for the curious-or the suspicious, after all, I could be making this up in a self-aggrandising effort:

I have since written to her, amending my characterization, by letting her know that I am, in fact, rather a bit glamorous....

This is an absolutely hoot - I love it. Your comment was so "Martha Lewis". I loved the picture of you on your blog too. David said you look like Lilly Tomlin.
