Well, friends, I got you these. Enjoy a quiet day.

  • I don’t know that I would call them the “first couple of American letters,” but I really like this profile.
  • Leading men age, but leading ladies don’t. Unless they win an Oscar. Then they age a little.
  • Did you see Waitress? I loved it. I love this blog, too!
  • As I embark on this new job, I plan to escape the cult of busy, as they say. Newsflash: I’m not important.

  • My internet friend, Snowden, wrote this about Barry Hannah, a Mississippian and great writer that I think of often and hope is resting well.

  • They changed the pimento cheese at the Masters’ and people were really bad, but no worries: Wright Thompson is ON IT.
  • E. L. Konigsburg was one of my favorite writers as a little girl, and she passed this week. I loved this piece about the Met, imagination, and her.

  • To quote Mara Wilson, this is like the Social Network for NPR.
  • Where can you pick an apple for free and eat it? This map tells you.

  • Zach Maher tells us a little bit about restaurant critics of yore
  • On New New Atheism.
  • Is baseball the best American sport? More importantly, will this be the summer I decide to like baseball?
  • My friend’s little brother was on Kimmel! I think he made it, right?
  • Leslie Jamison has this outstanding piece over at the Oxford American about…West Virginia and tax fraud and ultramarathoning and jail and…just read it.
  • The April Fools Jokes that weren’t.
  • Most movies aren’t shot in anything resembling chronological order, but here are some that were, and why.
  • Fancy basketball player outfits.
  • Why do we clap?
  • My girlcrush, Rose Surnow, writes about Erika Christensen, my brand new girlcrush in NY Mag.
