Weekend Links: Heartbreak is in the Air, but in the Distance a New Love Awaits

It’s been a long week filled with Renee Zellweger, empty Kleenex boxes and mascara-stained pillow cases. We cannot block from our thoughts our first true love—the love that greets us warmly each August and carries us weekend by weekend into the cool winter months.
