    I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to Radio Paradise - it's the station that is sadly missing from my car stereo. Great stuff.

    How do you effectively use pfblogs.org? It is information overflow for me.

    Rose - I'm happy to hear you like RP. I've discovered some great new/new-to-me musicians/groups.

    MM - It's a little daunting sometimes, so I use the personal finance filter and the other filters. I'll also skim the headlines.

    1. www.palemale.com: I will need to know how the Central Park redtail hawks are doing while I'm watching the Birds of Paradise and exotic parrots in person on the island.

    2. www.amazon.com: They might have some neat pots and pans on sale and I don't want to miss that, along with the latest Finn Brothers CD.

    3. RP: Same as you

    4. www.familyiq.com: I can pick up some great advice for dealing with any unexpected guests with their children. (ok, shameless, I know)

    5. www.hbo.com: So I can get synopses of the Sopranos - maybe even some clips (if the cable on the island isn't working)

    6. www.foodnetwork.com: Some of Bobby Flay's grilling recipes might come in handy.

    7. www.latimesonline.com: I'll need to keep up with the latest CA news.

    8. http://scienceblogs.com/grrlscientist/: One of the most erudite and amusing blogs there is - and I can't miss the weekly Birds in the News feature.

    9. www.collide.net: great music and a shameless plug for another relative's band.

    10. www.consumercommentary.com: Need I say more?
