Monica Bay Enters the Blogosphere
Long overdue is the entry of Monica Bay, editor-in-chief of Law Technology News and editorial director of Law Firm, Inc. and Small Firm Business into the blogosphere with her already-engaging blog, The Common Scold. Two days before Thanksgiving, it is well to remember that the Puritans bequeathed to us many more lasting cultural ingredients than just the traditionally enshrined turkey dinner—and Monica reminds us that one icon (OK, without warm and cozy overtones) is that of the "common scold," a disputatious and vexatious woman who stuck her nose into everything and voiced her negative opinions without inhibition.
This, trust me, Monica is not.
OK, I will stand by the part about expressing opinions without inhibition.
On subjects from legal technology to the status of professional management of law firms, and gratefully including her (and my) beloved Yankees, Monica's engaging and wide-ranging voice, and her astute ability to point out either the monstrosity that the rest of us have ignored or the baffling absence of something that clearly ought to be there, are profoundly welcome. Not that she needs encouragement, but "Go, Monica!"
