Eid Mubarak to our Muslim readers! What are you up to this weekend? My dad is visiting Brooklyn, so I’m taking tomorrow off to hang out with him. We’re planning to walk around the neighborhood and make a seafood dinner. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few fun links from around the web…

Says GE on when did you know it was love: “When? Right this year. Whilst in lockdown, alone. Somewhere in the middle of all this mess, at the ripe old age of 39, I fell in love… with myself.”
Says S on when did you know it was love: “I saw my husband across the room at a party and I just knew with a certainty that I had only felt once before — when I met my dog. My husband does not appreciate this comparison, but both of my experiences with love-at-first-sight really worked out for me.”
Says Ellen on 12 reader comments: “I have never felt more alive than when I started skipping a couple of years ago. I am not a runner, and walking is good but I wanted something more cardio. Here’s what works for me: cardio clothes, an upbeat playlist, a flat open space (like a parking lot) and the willingness to skip. I do get quizzical looks and lots of smiles — it’s really freeing. And an added bonus, I am over 50 and it doesn’t hurt my knees.”
