Links I Love Week 16
Happy Sunday from the airport in Puerto Rico. I’m currently on my way back to Chicago after 17 days of travel. I spent the first 10 days in Paris, and one week sailing in the British Virgin Islands for my 40th birthday. I am looking forward to a proper shower and sleeping in my own bed. Most of all, I cannot wait to see my best buddy, Henri. I hope you all are having a great Easter/Passover weekend. Grab your coffee and croissants (or matzah if you celebrate) and join me for this week’s links I love.
