My brother-in-law, a Denver dad of two and owner of In Season Local Markets, eats only from his own market and blogs about it at the link above. All of the food is from a 250-mile radius, it’s all ethically grown and traceable, most (all?) of it is organic, and a lot of it is gluten-free. Eating only seasonal food from the Denver area obviously poses some challenges.

Read because: His kids are cute (okay, I’m biased), there are good food ideas, and he’s just funny. And you can always make fun of his spelling. 

Check it out, even if you aren’t from CO!

RONALD REAGAN
GOVERNOR

My Darling Wife

This note is to warn you of a diabolical plot entered into by some of our so called friends - (ha!) calendar makers and even our own children. These and others would have you believe we’ve been married 20 years.

20 minutes maybe - but never 20 years. In the first place it is a known fact that a human cannot sustain the high level of happiness I feel for more than a few minutes - and my happiness keeps increasing.

I will confess to one puzzlement but I’m sure it is just some trick perpetrated by our friends - (Ha again!) I can’t remember ever being without you and I know I was born more than 20 mins ago.

Oh well - that isn’t important. The important thing is I don’t want to be without you for the next 20 years, or 40, or however many there are. I’ve gotten very used to being happy and I love you very much indeed.

Your Husband of 20 something or other.

Of course, I love writing, good writers, and blawgs. But these are some awfully intriguing blogs that just collect photos. Distinct from photo-based tumblrs, with theme driven posts.

Where is the cool?

This blog has a boatload of beautiful photos, many of them taken by iPhone.

I gotta get whatever app it is that makes iPhone pictures look good. Love this post.

Gawgeous. The last photo reminds me of the cover art of Contra.

Football hysteria sets in. This is too hilarious. “7:34 Started reading collection of Bertrand Russell’s essays. 10:46 Finished essays. Agreed with some of his views on religion. Decided his argument for socialism was weak and unrealistic.”

Also, this sums up how I feel about Chris Todd. Nervous but hopeful. Good blog, boys.
