How This Came to Be

We are three friends who have never met in person.

It's tempting to call this a new phenomenon of the internet, but when watching the movie "Julie & Julia" recently, it occurred to me that this was also true of Julia Child and her penpal Avis DeVoto. People have apparently been meeting through their words for as long as written correspondence has been around.

The three of us met through Twitter, connecting initially as homeschooling parents, and finding deeper attraction in our similar sensibilities and interests. No doubt these shared interests will become apparent as we write this blog.

Beyond One Forty is a way for us to take our conversations beyond the 140 character limit of Twitter.

Suzie, Sam & Karen
