Family Matters

The last time I posted about family matters, I was writing about a kid at work who wanted to show me his Urkle impersenation.

Fortunately, this post will not be Urkel related. Rather it is a post to plug my aunt-in-law's blog. A few things worth knowing about Aunt Deb: she is one of the in-laws I have who will watch sports with me, she is running her first marathon this summer, and she's good people.

Click here to check it out. She was even thoughtful enough to write this post calling me out, for calling her out for the lack of posting on her previous blog.

TV Snacks Has Met Its Match

The friendly blogger over at TV Snacks has put her quarterly post out there, and is now headed back into blog hibernation.

Is the same true The Anginator? Cripes. Watching to see which of these two ladies can blog the fastest is like watching two snails have an underwater swimming race.

Anyway, I finally got around the adding The Anginator to my Blognation links to the right. I recommend adding her to your Google Reader, because you never know just when she will post again. 

Maybe it seems I'm being a little harsh on a new Blognation friend. But I feel I'm allowed to harass her for not posting more frequently. She gets on Emily's and my cases pretty good when we aren't posting with a frequency to her liking. Plus The Anginator is pretty freaking tough. I know she can take it. And she's good people.

So go check out her blog. Maybe it will pressure her to post some more.

Blognation: Will The Madness End?

Another link to add to the blog canon. Are you still out there Rachel? I ask because the last time you blogged there were some people who still thought Pluto was a planet and Mike Hatch would be an awesome choice for governor of Minnesota.

Anyway, Rachel got Emily and then me into blogging many moons ago. I would like to think that Emily and I have since influenced the inception of a few other blogs, including the latest entry to my links section, Life by the Falls.

So is this blog for you? Well, I would say at least one of the following is true for 90% of the people who read this blog (so that would, ummm, 4.5 people):

1. You presently live in Texas or have Texas roots.
2. You presently live in Minnesota.
3. You are a runner.
4. You take pride in your neighborhood.

If any of these are true for you, then Life by the Falls is a blog for you!

It is written by my friend Nathan and, as of press time, every post he has made is about running, Minneapolis neighborhoods, and Texas. So there is something for everyone.

Nathan has made an anonymous cameo on my blog before. Back in November I talked about the tranquility of running with a friend at 5 a.m. It all sounded so ideal at the time. What I left out of the post is that repeated running at 5 a.m. left me with too-tight hamstrings and a strong feeling of sleep deprivation. So we abandoned the 5 a.m. routine.

But the identity anonymous friend from this post can now be revealed as Nathan, since he now has a blog of his own.
