Years ago I got some criticism that I blogged very little about my family and when I did blog about them, the compliments were wonderfully sweet and made me proud of my family;

Elena Mary’s blog is one of the very first I started reading – nearly two years ago – and never once had I remembered her blogging about her sister … until Monday when her sister showed up in the NY Times. Pretty interesting. She’s even written a chapter of a book. Talk about a proactive family. –El Oso

I feel proud of my brother too. He is currently in Japan helping out a friend and blogging about his life there. He is a Freegan and speaks Japanese fluently so I think it makes for interesting life. His blog is here and here is an excerpt:
