This weekend, I will be visiting King Tutankhamon in Philadelphia. I’ve wanted to see this exhibit for a long time, and it’s closing at the end of September. The exhibition is sold out later on, so now is the time to go.

Here are some articles from other blogs that caught my attention this week, including my friends in the MoneyBlogNetwork.
