If Leslie Knope Ran an Airport

The airport at Kuala Lumpur

The airport at Kuala Lumpur

Leslie Knope, from one of my favorite TV shows, Parks and Recreation, is famously fond of elaborate plans, overfull binders, and awkwardly worded acronyms. I chuckled when I saw this sign at the airport in Kuala Lumpur (en route from Hanoi to Tokyo) and thought this would fit right in at Pawnee City Hall.

“Humbly pleasant”!

Valentine’s Day Mix (Not Mine)

Dearest fellow travelers, I had every intention of creating a Valentine’s mix for you again this year, but every time I went to Grooveshark it crashed on me. We are talking through it and expect to emerge stronger than ever on the other side, but for now it’s a difficult time. So in lieu of my Motown-heavy list, might I direct you to The Rejectionist’s indieriffic playlist? (The Rejectionist is a stellar writer and also, as it turns out, a good DJ.)

It’s manufactured, it’s silly, but Valentine’s Day can also be a time to smile more at the people you love, and that’s always a good thing.

It’s a day late, but of course I wish you the best Galentine’s Day too. Leslie 4evah.
