Blogroll

When I first put up this list, I tried making some divisions, groupings, categories, something.  But that’s just too much trouble, you know?  An unnecessary headache.  People keep falling into more than one category, or blog A doesn’t quite fit so well next to blog B, or some such.  Trouble.  So, enough with the categories.  And no more of the careful, figuring-out-the-seating-arrangement-for-the-wedding-receiption shifting of places on the list.  Boy do I love to make things hard for myself!  Everyone’s just listed alphabetically now.  And some folks aren’t posting now, but I leave them up anyway.  Have at it!

matt, liz and madeline (This link takes you to a ‘backstory’ page that you really need to read before you check out matt’s blog. I don’t read here all that often because, no matter what’s going on in his day to day, I find myself crying before I reach the end of a post. Now you might not be as sappy and sentimental as I am, but you’ve been warned. If you’re already read the backstory, you can click right to the home page.)
