Random act of linkage

I was struck by three very fine blog posts this morning. Not only am I pointing them out to anyone who might happen to read here, but I want to remind myself of them too.

My lovely wife posted some thoughts from our recent vacation in Punta Cana. I wish I could be concise like this. I had half a notebook. Anyway, thanks for the memories, dear.

Good friend, Joan, wrote a very good and thought-provoking post on having a home vs. being home-less (with the hyphen), as she was leaving D.C. to come back to our neck of the woods (while still "on assignment" with Sojourners). I wonder if this problem isn't going to get worse and worse as the current war lingers, and the housing market degrades, and prices increase, and...

And I stumbled onto Julie Unplugged for the first time this morning. A fellow Scorpio from the Midwest who apparently attends the same school as son Isaac's love interest. I haven't read much of her blog, but I love her honesty, and how she's not afraid to say what she thinks (especially since she apparently thinks along the same lines as me). I will possibly be adding her to my sidebar. What caught my eye, though, was a link I saw (somewhere) to her post "When you forgive..." A very honest look at her reaction to - and how she ultimately dealt with - her parents divorce.

Well, it's storming here, and the dog is drooling all over my legs and feet. Dog drool really grosses me out.
