One of the minor bummers of the hectic slam-bang that this last few years have been is that my blog-reading has fallen way off.  I keep a few of the day-to-day essentials on my Google RSS Reader, but there’s just no time, usually, to randomly surf through blogs at the moment.

Which is, of course, one of the reasons I’m doing this series.  Because I know that the Minnesota Organization of Bloggers has a slew of fascinating productions that I want to reconnect with – and, more importantly, connect to new audiences.

With that in mind, the next stop on our trip around the MOB:  Crazy But Able

CbA has turned into a bit of a group blog – but it’s always been John Wilson’s blog.  And John (and crew) has been plugging away for quite some time now.  John and his wife Peggy are also neighbors of mine (more or less; I run into them periodically around the Midway).

And if there’s a blogger that’s almost eclectic enough to give our own Bogus Doug a run for his money, it’d be Wilson.  Music?  Electronics?  Language?

I liked this post:

We won a turkey in a random drawing in our apartment complex. All residents were entered. Makes me wonder how many random drawings and contests we’ve lost.

Also of note: What English sounds like to foreigners:

See more funny videos and Music Videos at Today’s Big Thing.

From the original website: “An Italian singer wrote this song with gibberish to sound like English. If you’ve ever wondered what other people think Americans sound like, this is it.”

Next step: getting Bob Dylan to make a cover of this.

I’d love to see a Bob Dylan/Michael Stipe duet.

Anyway – that’s Crazy But Able. Read ’em!
