What are you up to this weekend? We are visiting friends in Connecticut, crunching the fall leaves and eating New Haven pizza. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web…

How Marlon Brando changed acting. “And this is what makes Brando a genius: when his eyes betray his words. His voice says, ‘What do you really care?’ But his eyes say, ‘Please care. Please show me that you care.’”
My friends keep recommending the novel Buckeye. Have you read it?
Why city benches are becoming more hostile.
Pamela Anderson is gorgeous. Love her joyful era.

Plus, three reader comments:
Says Melina on bat-mitzvah prep: “When perfectionist tendencies start to show in my kids, I tell them stories of times when they’ve tried and failed and tried again. They love to hear about how they learned to walk as babies. I don’t go heavy on the moral of the story, just tell them about how they’d hold onto their crib to cruise, or how when they finally learned to move I would ‘lose’ them in the apartment and panic. Now when they see toddlers learning to walk, they say, ‘That baby is working so hard! They’re probably gonna fall but keep right on going.’”
Says Melanie on a giggly evening with Kate Baer: “I’m going to Kate’s reading next week in Napa. I just moved here and need to make friends. I decided that the kind of people there will be the kind of people I want to know. So, if anyone sees a person sitting awkwardly by herself, and you’re feeling friendly, please say hi!”
Says Samantha on very low-key winter checklist: “I am due to have my first baby in a few weeks, so my winter checklist is:
1. snuggle baby
end of list!”
