what I'm reading here

I just thought I'd take a minute and make note of the blogs I'm following on here.
One is by the actor/writer/director Amber Benson.  She's made some pretty interesting posts about herself, her observations, her writing, what it's like to be a working actor, but not someone who's particularly "Hollywood".  It's cool
There's another by a guy named Bill Levisay.  He's a business guy and a lot of his posts have to do with leadership, but there's also observations he's made about being with different companies, having compassion, being connected etc. I like a lot of the things he has to say, actually.   I found it because he wrote a memorial to his mother-in-law just after she passed away--she was a librarian.  And his sister-in-law is Emily Saliers.
And the most recent blog I've been following is a (just) former student and friend who has moved to Morocco to live and teach.  Her wrtitings and observations are fun to read and I'm glad she's doing well.  It reminds me somewhat of my time in China, though my writing is just in a little journal, which only I have (re)read.  I look forward to her frequent entries.

rediscovery

Well, I just discovered that this blog page is still open, which is cool.  I'll still mostly use this to comment on others posts, but I guess this is a place I can rant about stuff if I want.  Or just follow some other interesting blogs.
