Blogs
1. Pohangina Pete: Like dropping in on an old friend. Writing that leaves me speechless; hard to do under any circumstances, but with writing I tend to be a boring old jaded cynic. Pete is the real deal. And his photos are gorgeous. And he's thoughtful and funny, to boot. There are so many people, internet celebrities, even, who write endlessly about how important it is to be kind, and who complain endlessly about how people aren't gentle or caring enough anymore, yet in real life (or at least in real internet life) have no basic manners. Pete is the antithesis of those people. He is traveling for the next six months and will not be updating until he's back, but there's plenty of stories. In case you missed it, I am a fan.
2. The Traveler's Lunchbox: Great writing, fantastic recipes, beautiful photos.
3. Cut Out and Keep: Ms. Cat Morley is RAD, and that is just about my highest compliment. It would appear there is very little she can't do; she's a filmmaker, student, writer and all-around DIY maven. I'd really like for her to be my younger sister. I"ve never wanted a sister, having been always content to be the only girl in the family, but Cat has made me change my mind.
