It’s Friday Links Time!

I am exhausted.  It has been a grueling week, in many senses of the word.  I think these links feel the same. Happy weekend!

Lenin congratulates me

So, this whole weight loss thing is going pretty well, I think, since I am now down to 5 pounds lost.  And, obviously, to celebrate, I made a graphic with broccoli and Lenin and everything. At this point, I no longer make sense.

Visiting my grandpa, the Yiddish-speaking atheist

This weekend, as we often do, Mr. B and I went to see the fam.  The fam is enormous, there are lots of them, and all of them need to be seen every time we go to visit them in Philadelphia, especially the grandparents, of which there are four, each of which needs extra time. On the one hand, I know I should be grateful, but on the other hand,  since Mr. B and I are kind of introverted  (what, you can’t tell by the blog?), lots and lots of time with people makes us exhausted and we need to recharge.  So that’s what I’m doing today and tomorrow.
