If there’s one thing I like about Wednesdays, it’s how much lighter my bag is at the end of the day than at the beginning. Most Tuesdays, including this past one, I work from home, which means taking my laptop home with me every Monday night and returning with it to the office the next day. It’s not ridiculously heavy, even with the battery, but my bag does feel wonderfully lighter at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

Also lighter — check out the dismount on that segue! even the Russian judges are impressed! — is my musical mix for July. Only four songs total:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. “Guggenheim” by the Ting Tings<\/li>\n
  2. “Calabria 2008” by Enur<\/li>\n
  3. “When I Write the Book” by Nick Lowe<\/li>\n
  4. “Abide With Me” by Emeli Sand\u00c3\u00a9<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I think that “Abide With Me,” from this year’s Olympics opening ceremony, is just too beautiful not to share:<\/p>\n
