Some happy links

Lately I’ve been doing some electronic spring cleaning, which means clearing a bunch of old draft posts out of my dashboard.  I’m either shaping them up and scheduling for publishing, or dumping them.  Which means, perhaps a bit of randomness in my posting-topics over the next few weeks as I revisit stuff that’s been on my mind for awhile.  In the meantime, some link-worthy stuff below…

• I’m wishing that I could buy a share of a local bookstore (or start a book co-op myself), after reading this piece.

• The video below rocks.  The music, dancing and filming are charming/whimsical/stellar.  After I watched it and realized how much I enjoyed, it, I asked myself whether a woman doing the same thing would be as charming (or would it seem gratuitous for her to be undies-dancing)?  I’m still not sure.  So I guess I’ll have to keep watching it over and over again until I have a strong opinion one way or the other…

• If you didn’t see this gem for International Women’s Day, you better watch it:

• And one more link for all of my fellow-travelers…I’ve been using this site for my train-travel dreaming for over a year now.  And am delighted to use it once again for my big Europe-on-my-birthday-palooza coming up in a few months.
