On Love: Borne, Begotten and Blessed
There are three things happening this weekend that make me a tad ruminative (and yes, that is a word, look it up).
My friend Priya Ramesh is getting married tonight.
It is my maternal grandmother’s birth anniversary (that’s me with my grandma’s best friend).
And tomorrow is Father’s Day.
On the face of it, these three things don’t have anything in common. Yet they do.

Last week, Priya Ramesh, CRT/tanaka‘s director of social media, joined us for the bi-weekly #measurePR chat.
This was not just because I’ve known Priya for a while and long admired her smarts and tenacity.
But because as we’ve been getting deeper and deeper into the chat, participants – you – started asking for case studies.
Theory is all very well, they (you) said.
What about real-life examples?
So Priya joined us to talk about the Council for Responsible Nutrition‘s “Life… supplemented™” campaign, and explained how they not only used social media, but measured the results.

“Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, under the shade of the coolibah tree…”
If you were ever a Girl Guide (I was!) or, as they say in America, Girl Scout, that might be a familiar song to you.
I don’t know why Waltzing Matilda (that’s the name of the song) is so closely identified with the Guiding tradition (anyone care to fill me in?).
Frankly, when I was 11 years old, I didn’t think about stuff like that.
Because it’s a great campfire song?
