We are Smart Bloggers!

When we received this award, we were quite touched that someone considered us to be "Smart Bloggers." Although our blog posts are generally humorous and sometimes quite silly, we do try and adhere to a certain standard for content and quality. Our (very belated) thanks go to Smart Mommy at the Smart Mommy blog for bestowing upon us this award. We are very grateful indeed!

Now, we are breaking with tradition with this award. Normally we do not pass such things on to other bloggers. Oftentimes there are just too many blogs we'd like to recognize, thus rendering us incapable of making a choice. However, this time around there are several blogs we want to recognize that stand head and shoulders above the pack. We'd like to pass this award on to the following bloggers, from whose blogs we learn something new and interesting every time we visit:

• Lidian at The Virtual Dime Museum
• Sharon at The Chicago History Journal
• Stephanie at Rocket Scientist
• Bob at Black Holes and Astrostuff
• Ken at Ken Armstrong Writing Stuff
• J.D. at I Do Things So You Don't Have To
• The Modern Historian
  

The original rules of this award are as follows:

• Link the one who gave this award and let them know you posted it.
  
• Pass this to as many Smart Bloggers as you can think and make sure to write something about them, like what makes you think they are Smart.
• Let them know they have an award.

As far as we're concerned, none of you are under any obligation to pass on this award to anyone else unless you'd like to. We just wanted to let you know how smart, savvy, and enjoyable we think your blogs are!
