- This is why dads are awesome. I mean, how many moms do you know who would build a roller coaster for their kid in the backyard? I also loved the old-time pic of the dad with the contraption that hangs (flies ?) kids from his head at the end of the post.
- I really, really love this very rustic stone restaurant (?) in Italy, and also this feminine and frilly home of Marianne Cotterill. Most people are in love with opposites like that, right? They are both very old and european.
- These hobbit-hole playhouses are pretty cute. Maybe by the time we have grandkids, we'll have built something fun like this in the yard?
- Comparing every (male) medalist ever in modern Olympic history in the 100 m freestyle, 100m dash, and long jump. Interesting.
