As you probably have seen on the news, we are in the middle of an early snowstorm –two of them, actually, back to back. My normal 35-40 minute ride home from work turned into two nerve-jangling hours. No point in dealing with the snow tonight, as I will just have to do it again tomorrow. I’m way too tired anyway.

So, with that, I figure that this is a good time to do a little tidying up.

I have removed the “on hiatus” note next to Peppermint Patty on the blogroll, because she is back. She obviously has had a full plate over the past couple months, and Life 101 often has to take precedence over blogging. I’m glad to see her back.

Lori and Maripat, the two lovely ladies at Right We Are, have closed up shop. That’s a shame, as they ran a first-class operation. I will leave Right We Are on the blogroll for a while, just in case they change their minds. You can still find Lori over at Downtown Chick Chat. It’s a nice site. Check it out.

David, of Sketches of Strain, also has decided to pursue activities other than blogging. He made a brief re-appearance on November 29, so I’ll keep his site on the blogroll for a while to see if he sticks with his decision not to blog anymore.

Rachel Lucas, who announced a while back that she is packing it in, made a Thanksgiving appearance. She hasn’t blogged regularly for some time now, and she still gets more than 1,200 hits per day, and I am sure that each visitor checks in hoping that Rachel has decided to jump back into the blogosphere. I know that I do.

Finally, I have added Wizbang to the blogroll, something that is seriously long overdue. As it happens, I see that Kevin, the proprietor of the site, was just laid off. Losing a job is always traumatic, and losing a job in the midst of the holiday season makes it all the worse. If you have a job and have a couple bucks to spare, perhaps you would consider hitting Kevin’s tip jar.
