Maciej Ceglowski writes in the "about me" section of his blog: "I was born in Poland, in 1975, but have been living in the USA since I was very little. Although I still speak the language with my mother, and have family in and around Warsaw, I'm as American as gooseberry pie." I don't believe it. I wish more Americans could speak and write at least one language properly, let alone two or more, and possessed even a fraction of his sardonic wit.
A recent entry finds him in Warsaw on the eve of Poland entering the European Union. I only wish there was more writing like this in our newspapers and magazines. Some of the best (and worst) writing is on the fringes.
