Belated shout-outs / holla backs

I've been meaning to extend a 'thanks' and return two blogger favors for a couple of weeks now -- but alas, as Jacob points out my blogging brain seems to work on geologic time.

Two of Meaghan's old college friends (that's an expression, as they aren't actually old) recently gave this blog nice recommendations and/or links from their blogs. So, in return, I recommend you check out the following:

-Nicole's blog (along with British significant other Simon): A Brit and his Grits

-Kari's blog (along with husband Jonathan): C'est la vie...a running update on the Massons

Now, these are cultured ladies -- Nicole having just returned from an extended stay in England and Kari currently living in Lyon, France, after prior experience doing health education work (I think?) in Africa, where she met her husband.

So, the point is, don't expect the typical American tripe that you read on this site. Kari frequently provides miniature French lessons at her site. Nicole likes to recommend other useful websites and advocate charity organizations, in addition to reporting on the Saga of the Taco Bell incident. (I'm not sure the incident has actually reached saga proportions yet, but I am hopeful.)

Despite the sarcastic tone that I can't seem to escape, this is a genuine recommendation. These are two experienced bloggers with interesting stories to tell, so maybe we amateurs can learn a thing or two from them.

Well, go on then...

Thanks, Chris. Partly for the recommendations...largely for clarifying that we're not 'old'. :)
