Hmm... for a good break from my drivel about poker and databases (and, somewhere in the distance, my coffee -- oh my coffee!), try Distant Ramblings. For one thing, the writer is talented. For another, she lives in an extremely interesting place in an extremely interesting time: try Israel, now. She's a Brit, living in Israel, sharing her observations about what's really going on at ground level. For some reason I think of Tom Robbins novels when I'm readying Distant Ramblings. That's a good thing.
