Hope and optimism are all over the place lately, from the new President to Pepsi ads on the Metro. It may not be morning in America, the economy stinks, and there’s the wars and so on and so forth, but people are still finding ways to be happy.

Overheard of the Week

At Open City:

Host: “How many?”
Very tall, older man: “Table for one…but with room to dance!”

After the jump, blogs, women’s studies, and choosing the right restaurants.
