The Knicks are up by 40+ over the Celtics before the end of the 3rd quarter, and the 13 year old in me that was thrilled at seeing Willis Reed hobble out of the locker room in game 7 in 1970 is very, very happy.

Over the last 5-6 months, our dog Bailey has been battling a kidney condition. The last few weeks, she's been eating less and less, and since Thursday, has not been eating anything at all. When she refused to eat chicken, we knew it was time to let her go.

I'll just drop this very positive notice here - the show was a great lark dctheaterarts.org/2025/01/30/a...
A delightful adaption of 'A Room with a View' at Lumina Studio Theatre
For this script-in-hand performance, the casting worked beautifully, and the direction was exquisite.
