          It’s August, and many of you are on holiday. (Many of us are, too!) And so we thought we’d give you something a little different on August Fridays, news permitting. There is a whole bunch of newsletters written by my colleagues that set aside war and disaster and focus on all the good stuff instead — music, happiness, wellness, inspiration and more. We thought you might enjoy a taste.

          On a recent weekend, absorbed in the meditative task of arranging flowers, I noticed that my thoughts had gone almost completely quiet. I’d been so deeply invested in stripping leaves and cutting stems that my usually chaotic brain chatter had disappeared. I was thrilled to learn the term “meaningful self-forgetfulness” in

          If you see a storm named Dim-sum forming in the Pacific this season, it’s not an error. The Hong Kong Observatory was inspired by local cuisine in June when it added that name to the forecasters’ list. It’s not the first time that Hong Kong has named a storm after a cultural symbol. Typhoon Dolphin, which is forecast to approach Japan and Taiwan this weekend, takes its name from a popular mascot.

          Crocs, one of the world’s most profitable shoemakers, sells its chunky clogs to 150 million customers across 100 countries every year. The company has its headquarters in Colorado, but come tax season, it has claimed that its global profits were earned in a two-person office in Malta.

          Twice a day, the rising tide funnels into a narrowing channel, producing a fast-moving breaker known as a tidal bore. “One moment it’s still, and you’re looking up at the mountains and eagles and goats, and the next you feel like you have the entire ocean coming up behind you,” a surfer gushed. “It’s magical, man.”

          When I was a child, my dad took me on cycling holidays around Germany. We’d sleep in youth hostels, swim a lot and play table tennis every night. And wherever we showed up, he’d force me to see one sight: a church, a castle or — this being Germany — a former concentration camp.

          All that sightseeing was annoying at age 12. But it was a price worth paying for a week with my dad. It made me a lifelong cyclist. And after a 15-year-pause, owing to small children, I finally took my own kids on a ride from Prague to Dresden last week.

          The biggest challenge was not my 10-year-old, who was fine riding 50-plus kilometers every day. It was my teenage daughters, who moaned and groaned and missed their phones a lot.

          The first day was hard. But then the magic started to happen: long chats, spontaneous singing, shared laughs — the kind of wholesome and unrushed connection that can be hard to achieve in everyday life.

          The sightseeing, though, was still deeply unpopular — until I tried something new. When we arrived in Dresden, we assigned each child a sight to research for our family walking tour. They’d be our tour guides. The kids got into it, and we all learned a lot. (I got an assignment, too: the Dresden bombing. Did you know that Kurt Vonnegut witnessed it as a 22-year-old prisoner of war and wrote “
