Friday Links

I don’t know, you  guys.  It’s been a long, hot summer and I’m kind of in a funk. Adjusting to Philly by ourselves. People in the family in the hospital.  It’s too hot for Nutella right now. House still doesn’t quite feel like home yet. My creepy lawn gnome stopped working for  a day.  No vacation in sight.  Suggestions for cheering up?  I need to look at this for a while or something.
