Weekend coffee #238.

At the rate of sounding trite and boring, I honestly can’t believe how fast this summer is going. Somehow it’s the middle of July, which puts us halfway between Memorial Day and Labor Day, the unofficial start and end of the season (at least around these parts). I realize I can’t stop time but I am going to make a conscious effort this next six or so weeks to maximize the experience and make the days last as long as possible. Sunrises, sunsets, hot tubs, Italian ice, etc. With that in mind, here’s a look at what else is happening:

• A Perfect Weekend in Asbury Park, N.J. says the New York Times (not so, says salty local)

• Tater Tots Cake

• Costco Raises Prices on Two of Its Food Court Mainstays

• The Women Giving Corporate America a Second Chance

• Making Peace with a Precious Chess Set

• Those Webb Telescope images, though

• A series of meditations to try out

• Currently reading: How to Be Perfect by Michael Schur.

• Currently watching: About to start The Bear.

That’s all for now. Until next time, thanks for following along and let the days linger.
