What are you doing this weekend? Anton cried today after graduating from 5th grade! I’m usually relatively stoic about these things, but when all the kids started singing “Lean on Me,” none of us were taking any chances. I hope you have good results. Manage it carefully. Here are some links from around the web…

Some Lessons from Roger Federer’s Dartmouth Commencement Speech. “People would say my playing was easy. Most people say this as a compliment… but I get frustrated when people say, ‘I barely even broke a sweat!’ Or, ‘Is he trying too?’ The truth is… I had to work really hard to make it look easy.”
Who else wants to do it? Sit down on this sofa?

Plus, here are three reader comments:
Anon says this about the sexiest makeup songs: “One day my fiancé made a joke and lampooned the type of voice he hears on public radio, and because… Are you feeling weird? It turns out that my makeup jam is a biennial fundraising campaign in a soft, low voice, and if you donate now, you can get a free tote bag.”
Paloma says this about a parenting tip I stumbled upon: “I was the babysitter of three young boys who were always attacking each other. Most nights I would come home and cry. Then the point of teamwork came to mind. Every time they were kind or helpful to each other, they received points, which I wrote down on a piece of paper taped to the refrigerator. When they achieved their collective teamwork goal, they received ice cream. We made placemats with pictures of their favorite teams (Dolphins, Jets, Incredibles). The first week or two went slowly, but it started to click. “It warmed my heart the whole time I watched it.”
Chrissi says this about her sexiest makeup song: “Joanna, I love this song for you. I often think about these words from Deborah Levy: ‘When women need to find a new way of life and break away from social stories… This is the jewel reserved for her in her crown of patriarchy, and it is there for her to take at all times.’ Choosing something fun and fizzy is still radical, cheers! There will always be difficult times, but find joy when you can because you have beautifully honored them.”
