Sidebar Update

Not that anyone has missed me in my absence (only Blue Gal and Kevin seem ever to drop me emails), but I stuck my head up today like a groundhog -- maybe it's safe, now that Alberto is departing. I observe that I have been permalinked by a site new to me called Friendly Witness. It seems to be the new site of (my previously sidebar-linked) Quaker Agitator, which hasn't posted at the old place since February. (Wow, do I feel out of touch.) Quaker Dave, with his new and less aggressive title, is still finding good things, like this tale of medieval gay civil unions. Bravo for him.
