I’ve been a terrible blogger for the past couple of weeks. Parenting duties were insane. I’ve been reading and RT-ing lots of stuff on Twitter, while sitting in the car at red lights. A red light is long enough for a RT, but not a proper blog post.

I’ve also been stocking up the camera with lots of pictures of cooking and kids and trips to the city. Just need the few minutes to download and edit them. This morning, Steve took Ian to a free cooking class at William Sonoma, and Jonah is down the shore with a buddy. I’m relishing this hour of “me time” by blogging. Weird? Yes.

So, what have I been reading?

Messi has barely broken a sweat for his goals in the World Cup.

This take-down of Emily Gould is so brutal that it crosses the line into crazy.

American Prospect “In the Denver suburbs, as in much of the U.S., the Great Recession turned formerly stable families into the new homeless—and left many living in budget hotels.”

Matt Lauer needs to shut up. 

Robin Thicke is an ass. 

Oooh. Look at this ranking of websites based on traffic numbers. Why is Vox ranked higher than the Atlantic?

Watch Sarah Jessica Parker and Jerry Seinfeld talk about parenting.

More on the Emily Gould twitter-storm.
