One small trip before school starts. Nowhere beachy, exactly, but I love these pictures of my mom on vacation in Florida.

I passed by Unnameable Books in Prospect Heights a couple weeks ago, and saw this amazing book winking at me from the window. I love the kid's attitude (such a sassy stance, below!), that he lives in a brownstone, that his cats are named Cat and Cat-Cat, and that his relationship to the Big Man is completely undefined.
