Weekends are for reading, right? Well, here's all the stuff I've popped into browser windows from our friends at the New York Times. This way, you can read them if I never get around to finishing them.

Some things I browsed past, and listened to, this week:

• On NPR's All Songs Considered I liked Ibrahim Ferrer, the Jacques Loussier Trio and Podington Bear.
  
• I've decided to read more about two Americans living in Paris, Mike and Rion
  
• Over at NYT, the wine blog has started a wine school. Gotta work that into my schedule too.

"It's not enough to vote and pay your taxes. It's not enough. ... This is about the web that is binding us together. ... We cannot escape each other. ... You have to try to spend more time, more money, more effort making a world with more partners and fewer adversaries."
-- Former President Bill Clinton, speaking Saturday to University of Michigan graduates

"The bottom line is the American people are capable of determining their own ideals of heroes and they don't need to be told elaborate lies."
-- Jessica Lynch, during testimony before a Congressional committee investigating military handling of the stories of her capture and the friendly-fire death of Pat Tillman.
