For a long time, my friend Margo has sent out emails describing her adventures as a Russian teacher, amateur chef, martial arts student, and wandering gadfly. Some months back, I replied to one of her missives and suggested that she start a blog, as that would be a much better way to archive her writings. Yesterday she wrote back to tell me that she'd finally taken my advice. She's now producing a "collection of silly essays often involving food", and as a special bonus for you tractor fans, her first post includes a visit to the Red Power Roundup in Iowa this summer. So drop by and check it out, and tell her I said Hi.
