  • Have you watched this? It’s devastating. Thanks for the recommendation, Kristin. (NPR)
  • If Ephron has a lasting legacy as a writer, a filmmaker, and a cultural icon, it’s this: she showed how we can fall in and out of love with people based solely on the words that they speak and write. Words are important. Choose them carefully. And certainly don’t cling to a myth just because it’s lovely.

Wendy MacNaughton, an artist from San Francisco who I’m a fan of, wrote/illustrated an Opt-Art for the New York Times titled How To Have Fun Again.

Friends, this is exactly why I created 100 Days of Summer nine years ago!

It’s easy to let the days pass by without much fun, so sometimes you have to jump in the lake or play a game of rake-tag to wake yourself up. Although sadly, this year’s #100daysofsummer is almost over, so far, it’s been a blast. Stay tuned for the final report in a few weeks but until then, let me know what we should do to survive 100 billion days of winter with a bit of joy.

How to Have Fun Again
