What are you up to this weekend? My dad is visiting, and we’re excited to see Alex Edelman’s Broadway show Just for Us. (He’s the comedian behind this hilarious podcast episode.) Afterward, we’re going to this Indian restaurant, for which I’ve tried to get a reservation a million times and it finally worked! Have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web…

I reread my teenage diaries: “In a bullet-pointed list of reasons for and against [having sex with my boyfriend], the ‘for’ column said: ‘I love him / He loves me / I want passion.’ Against: ‘Only 14 / Only dating a month and ¾ / Mum / God.’”

Rereading Jenny Offill’s wonderful book Dept. of Speculation, and I love this part:
“Three things no one has ever said about me:
You make it look so easy.

Plus, three reader comments:
Says Tracy on the #1 trick to enjoying family travel: “I always expect one horrible day. For my son, it’s almost always at the halfway point of any trip. ‘Crappy Day’ is on our list of stuff to do, somewhere between go to a museum and swim at the beach. It gets checked off along with all the good stuff. When I expect it, it’s not disappointing.”
Says Lane on the #1 trick to enjoying family travel: “My family has a saying when we travel: ‘Our goal is experiences, not great times.’ Life happens no matter where you are. Not having expectations on how good or bad something will be makes travel (and, honestly, life) so much better!”
Says Lynn on four fun things: “Since you posted your mom’s house tour, I have made toasted sourdough + Boursin + sautéed mushrooms approximately every day. It’s delicious and your mom is a genius — thank you, Joanna’s mom!”
