Here are a couple of things from over the weekend in the New York Times that I wanted to share.

The first is about thirst. Here is a story about the breweries of Duluth and the south shore of Lake Superior. I am familiar with a couple of the spots, but there are some finds in here that sound pretty good. While Duluth isn’t my ideal winter destination, there are some eating/drinking ideas here that sound pretty good.

Second is about the rise of e-readers among kids. I am very much a fan of my Nook Color. I have read more since getting it and have found it to be a cool device. And that e-readers are gaining traction among a younger crowd is a positive. Less TV and video game time for them is all good.
