Oh, dear.  Apparently not far enough.  I am quite a few years beyond
being a "girl," and quite a few more beyond being a "baby."
 
I'm also not quite sure why one woman's Nobel prize is a reason
to congratulate women in general.  I congratulate HER.
 
 
I'm sure the comments were well-intentioned, but my reaction was
rather flat.
