I’m in Massachusetts visiting my\u00a0family for the long weekend and it’s good to be home. The only problem with this weekend is the heat. What are you up to?<\/em><\/p>\n Last Wednesday night, Daniel and I went to see Louis C.K. at Foxwoods. We’ve gone to see a lot of stand up comedy over the years, but no one compares to\u00a0Louis. I think he’s a brilliant, and agree with GQ magazine<\/a><\/strong>, who described him as, “an absurd, self-disgusted, generous…inquisitive, belligerent, deep-felt, smart-stupid, bare-naked, vulgar, deeply ruminative…[and] frank genius.” I love watching Louie, seeing him perform live, the way he comes across in\u00a0interviews, and the simple fact that he’s committed to charging $50 a ticket for his shows when he could easily double that, like other comedians at his level. Here’s a recent interview Louis\u00a0did with Rolling Stone<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Summer reading:\u00a05 Books You Have to Read this Summer<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>I’ll be doing a live chat and a Q & A with mindbodygreen<\/strong> in late June\/July!<\/p>\n The worst US airports and airlines for flight delays<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Here’s what we\u00a0can dream about when we want to escape: the top 10 beaches\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n If you, like me, love to keep a daily (\/weekly\/monthly) to-do list, consider adding a break list<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>for added productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n When I memorized my 18-minute TEDx talk<\/a><\/strong>, I did it by hand-writing it over and over in a notebook<\/span>\u2014the same way I memorized things in high school. It worked. Here are the benefits of handwriting<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A new bill in New York would make it illegal for anyone to declaw cats<\/a><\/strong>, which is a very good thing. A 2011 AP poll showed that 55% of cat owners approve of the surgery, but might not fully know what declawing means. \u201cTo declaw a cat, you amputate each toe at the first knuckle, taking off bone along with tendons and the claw. This is a controversial operation, and some veterinarians say it can lead to lifelong complications, pain, and lameness.”<\/p>\n A San Francisco company has developed a sensor that will scan your food to tell you if your food contains gluten<\/a><\/strong>. <\/span>Now they’re moving on to peanuts and milk.<\/p>\n It’s long, but it’ll move you, and maybe haunt you, and we all need to read it:\u00a013, right now: This is what it’s like to grow up in the age of likes, lols and longing<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Your cheese says \u201cbest by.\u201d Your milk says \u201cuse by.\u201d Those cookies? \u201cEnjoy before.\u201d It\u2019s \u201csell by\u201d for the salsa, and \u201cbest before\u201d for the butter. \u201cBorn on\u201d for beer and \u201cguaranteed fresh\u201d for bread.\u00a091% of consumers reported occasionally throwing food out after its \u201csell by\u201d date; fewer than half of the consumers surveyed could correctly describe the meaning of \u201csell by\u201d and \u201cuse by\u201d dates; each year a family of four wastes an average of $1,560 on food that is thrown away. But good news: There’s a bill to change unclear food labeling of expiration dates.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Enjoy your\u00a0weekend!<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m in Massachusetts visiting my\u00a0family for the long weekend and it’s good to be home.
