It’s morning in America, rise and shine, grab your coffee and breakfast and enjoy these great blog posts by my friends and colleagues.  Seven posts from my former haunt at the Times Union, and seven posts from my blogroll.  Guaranteed to make your day a little bit brighter.

Let’s start with the TU community  blog posts, shall we?

This week’s crop includes:

  1. Don Rittner’s history and culture blog, “The high and low of a summer day.” (Read this first.)
  2. Lisbeth Calandrino’s “Success” blog, “Who doesn’t want to be Wonder Women?“
  3. Mary Martin’s “A Good Enough Life” blog, “How it turned out.“

And now it’s time to check out seven blog posts from my blogroll, and I hope you enjoy those as well.  They include:

  2. Rob Madeo’s “Keyboard Krumbs” blog, “At the Movies.”  Classless move, Spectrum… and I don’t mean the cable company this time.)
