Kit and I grew up together for several years in Saudia Arabia, and our families remain friends. Unless I've got my childhood memories mixed-up, my father has pictures of us camping out in the Arabian desert as babies. She has since grown, married, and birthed the singular Liam Sebastian Trzebunia-Niebies. Stories from the labor and birth are on ebunia.com. Her writing is honest, funny, deeply down-to-earth, and she's a storyteller with stories to tell (Plus, I want to note, her website is verified XHTML 1.0).

Joe, from Meet Joe Convert is an articulate Catholic who has blogged the first two years of post-conversion life. I wish had his self-reflective insight or articulation. He writes personally, with lovingkindness and without triumphalism.

Melanie hangs out at the house, dates my roomate Josh, and has seduced Yin away from the gym and into the Salsotecas. Her Livejournal steams out from her consciousness with the attendant randomly quirks and kittyblogging.

Posted by: Katie at February 5, 2004 11:43 PMWait for the sequel. Just you wait.
You are in a set of writers I admire for different reasons. I thought about adding a paragraph on why I put Kit, "Joe", and Mel together, but decided against it. My own laziness isn't lazy enough to not get up and bite me in the ass. Doh!
Posted by: Tom at February 6, 2004 09:03 AMDon't let him lie to you like that, Katie. The sequel to this post will undoubtedly be "Writers Who I Only Pretend to Like in Real Life". You be on it, along with Dan Brown and Jackie Collins.
Posted by: Dave at February 6, 2004 01:09 PMTom. thank you. :]
appreciated muchly.
you are a great person to listen to when you are thinking aloud,
during a thunderstorm when the power goes out (especially).
Failure to include on this august list frequently updated and brilliantly written TSG sites such as eatfat.com and fuster.org only shows Tom's literary bankruptcy.
Posted by: Dave at February 10, 2004 05:01 AMHey, I never promised to anyone that there would be anything on fuster.org, ever. I didn't get it for blogging or bragging or airing my personal laundry. I got it for vanity email. If I ever do a website, it'll be primarily for humor and/or technical stuff.
Posted by: JFu at February 10, 2004 10:49 AMDon't even think about blogging, Fuster, your place is in the slave galleys, keeping the web server running smoothly for little or no thanks, with only condescending and mocking comments about your non-blog domain your only reward.
