What are you up to this weekend? We’re going to a bar mitzvah with a “black tie pizza party,” which sounds really fun. Also, Anton and I are getting into chess together, although he beats me almost every time. I need to brush up! Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web…
I want to read books on crisp sheets all summer.

Says Kay from Queens on a very low-key summer checklist: “Hopefully we’re starting off summer with a Knicks sweep!!! We’re also headed to Michigan, where all we’re doing is swimming in the lake, reading by the lake, sleeping by the lake, playing by the lake, climbing sand dunes by the lake, and eating cherries by the lake. I can’t wait to sit back and watch my sun-kissed babies play their little hearts out.”
Says Emily on a very low-key summer checklist: “Recommendation for ‘Big Book Summer’: The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett, which had some of the best female characters I have ever encountered in a book. I devoured all 600+ pages.”
Says Olivia Jane on a very low-key summer checklist: “My newly minted seven-year-old loves making graphs, so she declared we’re making two to compare: how many watermelons and how many ice cream cones we eat, and we’ll see which wins. Best summer project ever.”
