Bloggity Goodness #1

Check out:

http://americanadianlife.blogspot.com/ Rebecca Cook Dube is a friend who recently moved from Seattle to Toronto.

"This AmeriCanadian Life: The True North adventures of an American writer in Canada" is funny, wonderfully conversational and brings the kind of pleasure that comes from hearing a smart writer just musing about stuff. For all the definitions of blogs, perhaps what they really are is the equivalent of a literary salon. Imagine Oscar Wilde blogging.

Lines I love:

1. On a White House press conference: "You can almost smell the Scott McClellan flopsweat."

2. " Home is where the dog is."

3. Advice from her parents, including this one from Dad: "Everything tastes better with nuts."

Mr. Cook, I couldn't agree with you more. Brownies, salads, cookies, you name it, nuts make all the difference.

My advice to Rebecca: keep writing this blog. Definitely a book here!
