Monday Roundup: A Case of the Mondays
by Steve Smith
After a long hiatus, the Monday roundup is back to share the link love with the local bloggeratti and offer a much need distraction for the first Monday after the holidays. Hang in there … we’ll get through this together. Just like Ron Livingston in Office Space. MMmmmkay?
>>New Year’s Resolutions: FW Renaissance’s Sonja ponders that most frequent of New Year’s resolutions, the diet. And in keeping of out with the old and in with the new, it is time for a new address book. Very analog.
>>Get Your Train On: I don’t know about you, but there is a certain amount of zen soothing that comes from looking at pictures of freight trains. If you need some train pr()n to bliss out to, check Ken Fitzgerald’s post greeting the new year with the Cotton Belt line. In a word: awesome.
>>Mr. Brightside: The Stash Dauber finds a silver lining in the dark clouds of economic downturn: skateboarding.
>>Goodbye to a Camry: Adam at the Stone Report meditates on that sometimes overlooked member of the family: the car. And he offers up one bitchin’ picture of a 1975 Monte Carlo.
>>Shop Local: Kevin Buchanan is back with with the podcasting on location at the Spiral Diner. And he asks a good question: where’s Fort Worth’s Shop Local campaign?
>>Putting It Together: Pete Wann at Cowtown Chronicles has finally figured out after three years what blogging and podcasting is all about anyway.
>>Behind the Barnett Shale: Sharon at BlueDaze links to all five of the Behind the Shale articles by Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe and Lowell Brown of the Denton Record Chronicle.
>>River Visions: Durango gives us his take on the river visions of Fort Worth and Dallas, respectively. But don’t get him started about New Year’s Resolutions.
>>Opening a Can of Worms: Francis at Food and Fort Worth reopens the eternal debate: Fred’s, Tommy’s or Kinkaid’s.
>>Speaking of Fred’s: My homegirl June Naylor had an update on Fred’s for the January issue of Texas Highways magazine.
>>Getting All Salvatex: FW Hole in the Wall luvs some Gloria’s. And why not?
>>First 2009 Prediction Bites the Dust: Carter Burdette tells the S-T’s Politex blog he’s running, so scratch that off my list. Oh well, start rooting for Stock Show weather.
>>Rocking with The Walkmen: This is what is rocking my speakers right now.
Good luck, people. Let’s be careful out there.
