Well, the unofficial start of summer, anyway.  Hope everyone had a nice holiday.  The weather in my neck of the woods was great.  They sure messed up the forecast.  Here are some of the best posts that I read this past week:

Brett at The Art of Manliness highlighted some motivational posters featuring Theodore Roosevelt;

WC Porter at Wise Bread asks: Are you a hammer or a Swiss Army Knife?;

Brad Isaac at Persistence Unlimited gives us lifestyle changes that stick;

Kevin at No Debt Plan created a stop doing list;

Pat at Smart Passive Income wants us to try virtual assistants;

Scott H. Young tells us not to burn our ships;

Steve at Brip Blap bids farewell to New Jersey;

Congratulations to David as The Good Human turned 3 years old last week;

David also tells us how he lives simply at his other blog, Simple.Organized.Life;

Mr. TML at Tough Money Love warns us not to let this financial crisis go to waste;

Five Cent Nickel tells us that stocks are for losers;

Blunt Money tells us that the universe will conspire to achieve what we want;

Jacob at Early Retirement Extreme tells us that the wealthy shall inherit the Earth;

Free Money Finance says that the poor economy is having little impact on him;

Mark Shead at Productivity 501 shows us that doing something new raises your IQ.

Well, this week in the States, Tuesday is like Monday, so if you’re an optimist, it’s a short work week.  Or, if you’re a pessimist, you have 20% less time to get your work done.  If you’re a realist like me, just hang in there,  Friday’s coming.

• Hired a Cleaning Service (and Personal Finance Links) About 6 weeks ago, my wife and I decided to finally bite the bullet and hired a cleaning service.
