Below, I've tried to categorize for you some of my favorite links.

Friends and Family

Thrilling Travels of Normal Girl and Guy - What kind of shameless self-promoter would I be if I didn't plug my other websites? Head there for sarcastic and fun travel writing.

Jess Tardy - An awesome singer/songwriter and a good friend of mine from college days. Buy her CD!

No Fret Pets - If you live near Portland (ME) and need somebody to deliver insulin to your cat, my brother-in-law Paul is just the guy. He and my sister have their own dog-walking and pet care service. Watch your back, Cesar Millan!

Eric Laurits - Manual Focus - Our wedding photographer--he kicks serious ass. Check out his blog for pictures of us and strangers.

Susan DiPlacido / Neon Fiction - Susan's a gifted writer and a good friend. Her blog is blunt, no-holds-barred fun.

Veritas99 - I met Mike the first week of our freshman year at Harvard. Now he's a lawyer in DC and occasionally pokes fun at me from his blog.

Designated Blogger - I agree with almost nothing Don has to say about baseball, but it's a fun read from a diehard Yanks fan (and talented writer!)

Writing Links
