Click-through for a short interview.
Someone told my mom and I that my dad was the David Brooks of Iowa.

A little Music Appreciation for the day. I love listening to + learning about the little details in music that come from true artists.
Just like the rest of the world America, I love The Office. I especially love Kelly Kapoor… who doesn’t? This article is a must-read. Mindy Kaling is amazing and I might have a major girl crush going on after reading this.
Plus, Curtis Sittenfeld wrote the article and if you haven’t read at least one of her books, you should.

Thought-provoking article about authenticity and what it really means now.
“Pope Benedict XVI said that increasing involvement in online life ‘inevitably poses questions not only of how to act properly, but also about the authenticity of one’s own being.’ He added that ‘there is the challenge to be authentic and faithful, and not give in to the illusion of constructing an artificial public profile for oneself.’
