What are you up to this weekend? We are arriving in England to visit our aunts, uncles, and cousins. I’m excited for freezing ocean water and endless cups of tea. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web…

Plus, three reader comments:
Says Sasha in Montana on my greatest packing tip: “My best packing strategy? Accepting that I am in fact the EXACT SAME SASHA, no matter where I go in the world. I will not, in fact, become super glamorous with makeup and jewelry and cute shoes and a nice outfit for sightseeing. Nor will I dress up for a fancy dinner date that we won’t actually go on. Just like at home, we’ll go hiking. We’ll grab tacos from a truck. We’ll go to bed early. I can, in fact, just wear what I wear at home.”
Says C.K. on what’s the best (non-physical) compliment you’ve ever received? “Two delightful tweens came over for dinner and commented enthusiastically about the candle I had burning in the bathroom. They loved the scent so much that we gave them the candle. Then they said, with full sincerity, ‘If your personality were a candle, it would be this candle.’ I have never recovered.”
Says Emma on four fun things: “My freshman year of college, there was a girl in my dance group who I was slowly getting to know, but it felt like we hadn’t quite sealed the deal on the friendship yet. In the midst of a very busy show weekend, I turned to her in the dressing room and said, ‘Do you wanna be best friends?’ And she said ‘Yes!’ The older girls all gaped at us, saying, ‘That’s the cutest thing ever! Why don’t we do that anymore?’ To this day, she’s my best friend.”
