This blog needs more Korea

Thanks to my friend Matthew Hooton, who has just joined the blogworld (and this gal's blogroll--he's the guy responsible for Sure Fire), Weeds goes global. (And before you ask--yes, even I have trouble keeping track of all my friends who are named Matthew.) This cat's a native Vancouver Islander, former Place member, excellent writer, stellar (though retired?) poet and all-around wonderful, funny, smart guy. His most redeeming feature is being married to the lovely Shawna, who no longer sells Tupperware (though we thank her and praise her, for if my lunches are so handily and niftily carried, it is entirely thanks to her.) They are in the business of teaching English in Korea, and we miss them greatly, but now that Matt's got a blog, we shall miss them oh-so-slightly less.

Do go pay him a visit.
