Suffice it to say my Sunday is tres bien, and I hope yours is, too. Before we both get back to our days, let’s take a look at the stories TPG readers were most interested in last week.

TPG also got a peek inside the new [Amex Centurion Lounge]( at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) near Washington, D.C.
