If you have a spring cold or May Madness or hyper-allergies or all of the above, I hope you can take some time off this weekend and put your face in the sun!

Table inspiration

On knowing when to cash in and look for tomorrow's new mercies: "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Comment highlight

Krista describes her non-super hero: "My non-superhero social justice guru is Sesta Peekstok, my 92 year old neighbor who fought like crazy to get out of rehab after BREAKING HER HIP so that she could vote in the last election and consistently treats me as a friend and equal while also catching me up on recent world news and societal changes. Love. Her." Who is yours? Truly no need to write long comments; we're just building a community resource here!
