Still sick. Still have a toddler preschooler enjoying the hysterical faces I make when she screams in my ear at just the right pitch. The same preschooler who can’t nap/won’t nap/too much fun screaming instead, Mommy.
What are you up to this weekend? We’re throwing Bean a birthday party, and looking forward to hanging out with our friends and family. Bean is climbing-the-wall excited. I wish you could all feel again what it was like to be 2 years old and approaching your birthday; it’s like pure joy mixed with an intense sugar high.
I hope you have a nice, relaxing, exciting weekend!
From around the web this week:
Reminder that Super Bowl City kicks off this weekend with tons of events. If this sounds like a good time, head down to the Embarcadero. Here’s a map of events. If this does not sound like a good time, avoid downtown.
In super terrific great news, Dolores Park is finally reopen!
Also reason to be happy this week: the Sierra snowpack is at a 5 year high! And at 15% over its historical average. Hurray!
It’s been a tough week for (tech) stocks, and The New Yorker wrote up a piece on the future of Twitter (only somewhat dramatically titled “The End of Twitter”).
Speaking of drama and The New Yorker, this long-piece on Miami’s rising sea water and near constant tidal flooding is fascinating/scary.
If you’re a fan of libraries, this was an awesome hour of people calling in to share stories of the incredible work libraries do and how much they’ve meant to people. The literary warm and fuzzies.
I just started this, and it’s turning out to be a delightful and weird read.
A light and beautiful 750 sq ft home in Amsterdam with two kids. (I love her two-part comment on what people say. We can relate!)
Late Addition: THIS IS SO COOL. Crowdsourcing bird watching, all portrayed on a cool time-lapse map? Happy Weekend, TO MEE!
