I have another five GMail invites to give away, so if you are interested in having your very own account, email me or post a comment with your email address and I’ll send an invite your way. If you don’t know, GMail is Google’s new free email service that gives you a full gigabyte of mail storage (1000x more than Hotmail gives you). It seems like a pretty good system. Of course the only drawback is that it is ad-supported, but you can hardly avoid that with free services these days.

Weekend A La Carte (July 5)
A La Carte: Let’s not rush to roles / Before you go to the nations / Children are not adults / Lia Thomas and a dark chapter for women’s athletics / No pit so deep / The first five years / and more.
