2025/07/31

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is another of the parenting books we love to hate (or at least find fault with). It's called Hunt, Gather, Parent: What Ancient Cultures Can Teach Us About the Lost Art of Raising Happy, Helpful Little Humans by Michaeleen Doucleff. Mentioned: Similar "other cultures have this figured out" books on French, Danish, and broadly Scandinavian parenting.Terri's random recommendation is a few earworms she

2025/07/30

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's The Gilded Age. "What the Papers Say" is that Gladys is going to marry the duke, so her attempted elopement with Billy Carlton comes to a very abrupt end. No one is going to cross Bertha on this topic, not even railroad tycoon George. Thankfully, it seems that Peggy's illness and Oscar's poverty will also be coming to a quick end, although no one in their home will be able to celebrate with an adult

2025/07/29

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode, we learn from Lostpedia, is considered one of the worst of the series, and was inspired by actor Matthew Fox's own tattoos. The creators admitted that this was because they were "desperate for flashback stories." We could tell. But we did manage to wring some parenting advice out of it!Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 3, episode 10, "Tricia Tanaka Is Dead." Tomorrow, we'll continue our

Parenting Roundabout ·

2025/07/24

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a Lucky Day pick called West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge. It's based-on-a-true-story historical fiction, which is right up her alley, and maybe yours too. Mentioned: The audiobook version, the history of the San Diego Zoo (toward which the giraffes of the title are traveling).Terri's random recommendation is an audiobook enhanced by its narrator's performance: Life's Work by TV creator David Milch

2025/07/23

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and we've now traveled back in time to The Gilded Age with the first episode of season 3. The battles for control of the title refer to the Ada/Agnes household, the Fane marriage, the Russell marriage, and of course the Russell mother and daughter, as we set up the game pieces for the season. We're ready!Next Wednesday, we'll watch season 3, episode 2, "What the Papers Say." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.This

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This week, we're mostly off the island, learning more about Desmond--who is both flashing back and flashing forward. It's confusing. Plus, Bad Dad Charles Widmore makes another appearance.Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 3, episode 9, "Stranger in a Strange Land." Tomorrow, The Gilded Age is back, and we'll discuss season 3, episode 1, "Who Is in Charge Here?"This episode was recorded before a live studio

2025/07/17

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is another for our scatology shelf: It combines farts (hilarious) with Where's Waldo-style search and find illustrations. She encountered Who Farted?, but reports that Find the Farter is also an option, should you need more than one of these titles.Terri's random recommendation is a shout-out to central air conditioning. After living without it for several days, she's appreciating it now and wants to make

Parenting Tips from “Duster” S1 E8, “‘66 Reno Split”

Parenting Roundabout ·

2025/07/16

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Duster. This episode was nothing but parenting, with kids trying to avenge their parents, parents sacrificing for their kids, and everybody using those family relationships against everybody else. And, of course, a couple of shoot-outs. This was far from a perfect show, and we're not too put out that it won't be back for a second season. But it was a good time and an enjoyable reunion with Josh Holloway

2025/07/15

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This week, we finally get some variety in our flashbacks: We're checking in with the Juliet of a few years ago and finding out how she ended up on Other Island (which is not, in fact, Portland or anywhere near it). Not mentioned, but relevant: This video Ryan Reynolds made to explain how to pronounce Rob McElhenney's name; McElhenney shows up briefly in this episode.Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 3,

2025/07/10

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a novel by Elinor Lipman: Every Tom, Dick & Harry. She picked it up because she remembered enjoying the author's previous works... and then didn't recognize a single thing on her website. No matter. because she enjoyed this one! Mentioned: Books by Linda Holmes.Terri's random recommendation is a new Peanuts datebook that's going to transform her life and make her organized and productive. Or if not,

Parenting Tips from “Duster” S1 E7, “K-129”

2025/07/09

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Duster. And what's a show set in the '70s without both Watergate and Howard Hughes? Terri's having flashbacks as if she were on Lost. We also discover here that Luna is both subject to TV trope (kid stowing away in trunk of car) and actually kind of a good partner to Jim.Next Wednesday, we'll continue with episode 8, "'66 Reno Split." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.This episode was

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. Here, we found out some of the lengths people will go to for love (or passion): They'll marry a cop even though they're a fugitive, for example, or withhold very crucial pieces of information, or purposely nick a patient's kidney with a scalpel.Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 3, episode 7, "Not in Portland." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Duster.This episode was recorded before a

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is another nonfiction series about animals for kids. But this time, instead of arguing about which animal would win in a fight, we are arguing about which baby animal is the cutest. Terri's random recommendation is your local small parking-lot carnival. She can't vouch for the safety of the rides, but the people-watching and bad-for-you food are sure to be top-notch.In the archives, we checked in on an

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Duster. Highly recognizable FBI agent Nina is now undercover, and that goes about as well as you'd expect. Plus, this week's TV trope: A character who's been told that he must avoid alcohol is forced to drink vodka with some scary Russians.Next Wednesday, we'll continue with episode 7, "K-129." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

2025/07/01

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. On this Eko-flashback episode, it was another day on the island, another goodbye to a cast member, and another round of mind games. So, about what we've come to expect from Lost.Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 3, episode 6, "I Do." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Duster.

2025/06/26

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is an introduction to a longstanding, popular series: The Chief Inspector Armand Gamache mysteries by Louise Penny. She checked out the first one, Still Life, and found it to be a good balance of "cozy" and "mystery."Terri's random recommendation is Waffle, a time-wasting daily word game that doesn't waste too much time, making it a nice little mid-day break.In the archives, we checked in on an episode from

2025/06/25

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Duster. The tension is ratcheting up as Nina meets with Sax in person, Jim drags his dad (hi, Corbin Bernsen) into the mix, and Nixon shows up (it's 1972, in case you forgot). Plus, the old TV chestnut: Jim makes, and then breaks, a promise to a kid.Next Wednesday, we'll continue with episode 6, "Meet by the Clothes." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. In this episode, we return once again to a Sawyer flashback, which tells us that "con men gonna con." What a shock! On the island (or islands!), we get another introduction to Paulo (theoretically here all along) and whaddya know, Desmond can see into the future.Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 3, episode 5, "The Cost of Living." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Duster.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a series of non-fiction books for kids that finds new and clever ways to teach history and science. We agree that You Wouldn't Want to Be an Egyptian Mummy and You Wouldn't Want to Live Without Gravity, but we're living just fine without video games, thank you very much.Terri's random recommendation is a report from her annual trip to the New Jersey State Special Olympics, which featured good times and
