On our latest weekly roundup, Catherine is sorely tempted by some very cute kittens (it's easy because they live 2,000 miles away). Mentioned: Heidi Wrangles Cats on Instagram.
What we're watching: It was time for that Dancing with the Stars staple, "My Most Memorable Year." As always, that meant lots of emotional, barefoot contemporary dances (and a bunch of Viennese waltzes) followed by judging that seems extra harsh, what with all the hearts on all the sleeves.
We also returned to The Gilded Age with season 2, episode 1: "You Don't Even Like Opera." Once again, there is scheming, secrets, and many, many elaborate hats. Mentioned: Commentary on the show from the Fug Girls (on their website for season 1 and their Substack for season 2) and Alan Sepinwall at Rolling Stone.
Catherine's library find this week spotlights a series called the Food Group, from illustrator Pete Oswald and author Jory John. Check out The Bad Seed, The Good Egg, The Big Cheese, and many more.
In the archives, we revisit episodes in which we discussed signs of senior-parent-itis (October 31, 2022), Halloween hassles (October 31, 2019), and the scariest places we've been (November 1, 2016).
Next week, our TV watch will cover "Monster Night" (Halloween) on Dancing with the Stars, and "Some Sort of Trick" on The Gilded Age. Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available!
There is a strange, eerie feeling associated with the haunted places of the world – ancient fortresses, abandoned houses, cemeteries, and dense forests. The reports of tragic accidents and ghost sightings add to the fear of stepping into the most haunted places in the world.
Happy Halloween 2022 everybody 👻 Be kind out there to each other 👌🎉 #hauntedhouses #halloween2022 #england #hasselbladx1dii #scaryplace #creepy #trickertreat #natgeointhefield #moodyvibes (at Wendover, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkYmeoktN1Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of the best parts of the Halloween season is exploring the spooky and supernatural in the world around us. We have complied a list of the most reputedly haunted place in Central New York.

On our latest weekly roundup, we have questions about when to notice someone else's hairstyle, and what to do when someone notices yours.
What we're watching: On Only Murders in the Building, "Ah, Love!" upended two relationships and (maybe) kicked off a third, while (maybe) exonerating one suspect and lining the next one up. On The Afterparty, "Isabel" finally allowed Elizabeth Perkins to have some fun, and cast some serious shade on murder victim Edgar.
Catherine's library find this week is another questionable nonfiction series for kids: Scary Places, with titles like Creepy Castles, Eerie Parks and Playgrounds, Abandoned Insane Asylums, and many, many more.
In the archives, we revisit chats on reality-show challenges for parents (September 6, 2021), making our kids' lives easier (September 5, 2019), and sibling jealousy (September 8, 2017).
We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E10 of The Afterparty ("Zoe and Vivian," the season finale) and S3 E6 of Only Murders in the Building (“Ghost Light”). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the archives await you!
I miss the swamp. It was so beautiful, and I felt so much closer to the universe and nature. It’s always good to make sure to ground yourself in whatever way is best for you. I personally do it by being in nature, sometimes I take my shoes off and literally ground myself by standing on the earth.
*edit* no photos have been edited. All of these are exactly how the swamp looked that day, and I’m in love with it.
