\"Walking<\/a>

(Trying hard to blend in.)<\/p><\/div>\n

I was feeling the winter blues at the beginning of the week, but things are looking up now and we’re ending on a good note.\u00a0 The weather isn’t cooperating yet, but it is supposed to warm up this weekend, and I feel like February will be a very nice month.\u00a0 Here are a few things that caught my eye this week.<\/p>\n

Remembering Philip Seymour Hoffman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Will Ferrell<\/a> on Reddit’s<\/em> “Ask Me Anything.” And, oh my gosh, he does look just like the drummer<\/a> from Red Hot Chili Peppers, which can only mean one thing: drum battle<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The conservative side<\/a> of Downton Abbey<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Frank Deford on Putin’s Olympics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Photos from yesterday’s Olympic events<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All Joy and No Fun<\/a><\/em>: a new book about modern parenting that really tells it like it is.\u00a0 I let out a huge sigh of relief when I read this story.<\/p>\n

A local professor moves into a dumpster<\/a> for an entire year.<\/p>\n

“Reclaiming the Ancient Girls’ Club.”<\/a>\u00a0 A beautiful post about the mikvah bath in Judaism.<\/p>\n

And the most beautiful broken cups<\/a> I’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful weekend!<\/p>\n
