I browse through posts on the Oly public Bloglines several times a day. Bloglines has a clipping feature so I'm able to clip anything I find of interest and save for my next Blog Local post.

Here is what has caught my attention recently along with a tease from each:

Update
Sometimes, when I get home from work, having given out several sleeping bags and tarps to families with little children, I look around at the scattered books, the fruit bowl on the dining table, my boots in the corner, and the couch in my living room and wonder to myself, "What in the heavens am I doing here?" I can't shake the feeling that this house has no purpose or redeeming value.
