Weekend Reads: Flowers are blooming
Happy Friday!!
Something about this week feels like spring is starting to come. I don't know if it's more sunshine the hyacinth blooming on my windowsill and perfuming my apartment air, or what, but I'm feeling like I'm taking deeper breaths, have a little more patience, and am ready to say goodbye to winter and hello to some warmer days. I admit, this morning on my walk to the gym I covered my ears with my mittens because they were so cold and that the snow piles are still waist high (this week I noticed ticker tape in the snow banks which means we're back to Patriots winning the Superbowl levels! Melt snow, melt!!), but now, I just see sunshine and can't help but smile!
I hope you have a great weekend full of smiles!! Here are some reads for you:

“At this point, I’ve basically suspended judgment,” said Ben Crair, an editor at the New Republic who recently wrote a column about the new aggression of the period. “You could drive yourself insane trying to decode the hidden messages in other people’s punctuation.” And yet... (!) ;)
Mary Cain, a wunderkind runner
Unknown Basquait notebooks are coming to the Brooklyn Museum and show his thought and creative processes in a really interesting way (apparently. This NYTs magazine profile is so interesting. Makes me want to check that exhibit out.
