July is such a great month in Iceland. The weather is usually as warm as it gets and the light is so beautiful - even though it’s just past the solstice, there is still daylight for the entire night [although if it is very overcast it can get dark for a short time right in the middle]. Most people go on holiday at this time of year, meaning that things tend to grind to a halt in the public and private sectors, and some places even close due to weather on exceptionally nice days.

Fwd: Don't usually care much about tennis, but this Wimbledon final -- like last year's -- is must-see TV. Just classic. (via http://friendfeed.com/76085e5...)
Sadly, I didn't get much out of the NYT article. When one of the suggestions is "force yourself [to network]," that doesn't tell <i>how</i>, especially if you are someone like me who literally clams up at social events. It's not like I purposely shun people; it's that I sometimes get so nervous I am not able to say anything. So telling me to "force myself" to talk to strangers is not helpful. :(
