farewell to the Canadian penny
—The last one-cent coin, in circulation since 1858, was minted on May 4th. The coin had become a nuisance, weighing down consumers’ wallets and costing more to produce than it was worth. (via theeconomist)

Five Things.
1. The exciting prospect of a weekend trip to the beach.
2. Grocery shopping together. Making homemade manicotti with spinach picked from the garden we planted. Sneaking kisses in the kitchen. Then enjoying a late dinner sitting on the couch while watching lightning bugs around the yard listening to Paul Simon’s Graceland Documentary.
3. Quadruple date to see Th e Avengers followed by brownie sundays with strawberries.
4. New guitarstrings vibrating to J. Tillman tunes.
5. Enjoying the quality of little moments. Being content.

Conflict in close relationships is not only inevitable, it’s essential. Intimacy connects people who are inevitably different.
