A few weeks ago, I decided my dear readers needed a bit of a Pidgeon break, and so I got in touch with The man about hosting this week's Haveil Havalim. For those unfamiliar with Haveil Havalim, it's basically a roundup of compelling, fascinating, interesting blog posts throughout the jblogosphere thats been submitted to me to present to all of you! Its a complete honor for me to play hostess this week, and I've been exposed to so many new and interesting blogs and postings, that I'm thrilled to be able to "pay-it-forward" and share with all of you.
Well, enough fanfare, let's give the other bloggers their due:
