You should read the post with reflections on Sharon posted at Canis Iratus. All of it.
We've also discovered the absolutely charming Alexandra of All Things Beautiful, which has been nominated for Best New Blog in the Weblog awards. The blog is as gracious and elegant as its creator, and is well worth your time.
Two new blogs Israel-related blogs we've been following recently: through Lynn we found Israel Perspectives, and then through Israel Perspectives we found the Muqata. The former is Ze'ev's personal blog and the latter is a group blog he's on that also hosts David Gerstman of Soccer Dad and quite witty ("you just need a place to unwind - a place where everyone (not just the Shabak) knows your name"... come on, that's at least worth a chuckle).
