If Justin Halpern's twitter feed can become a #1 bestselling hardcover and a William Shatner sitcom, the brand new treasure Sandy Leonard Snaps deserves to be a Taschen art book and a feature film. A travel photoblog, the site each day offers one picture and a paragraph of impeccable prose describing the circumstances. You might worry that living vicariously through Sandy's four decades of adventures might ratchet envy and jealousy to fatal levels. Not so. Just admiration and gratitude. But hurry: In four days you've already missed lavender marshmallows in Paris, local slang in Barcelona, "potty-mouthed" Diana Rigg in London, and this miffed dog in Tucson who believed the cat got to dine at a restaurant with the humans.
Another friend's blog that is ripe for a book contract and a darker Hollywood comedy of ADD, motherhood, and autism is Tracy Stroh's Everloving Mess.
I have always wondered who was "Sandy" of the comments. Another blog to follow.
