On our latest weekly roundup, we discuss the challenges of dog boarding and the implications for family travel as the winter holidays approach.
What we're watching: As always,
Dancing with the Stars went all in for Halloween with "Monster Night," with the costuming, hair, and makeup departments working even more overtime than usual (but we still think the scariest dance was when
Frankie Muniz played a stalker with very little assistance from hair and makeup).
On
The Gilded Age, season 2, episode 2, "Some Sort of Trick," featured a great deal of romantical intrigue, with current, past, and possibly future pursuers and partners turning up left and right. Mentioned: The
official Gilded Age podcast from HBO.
Catherine's library find this week was more TV: A series called
Jamestown about the early English settlers in Jamestown, Virginia, from (some of) the creators of Downton Abbey.
In the archives, we revisit episodes in which we discussed
family to-do lists (November 9, 2022),
holiday happenings and headaches (November 10, 2021), and
the importance of having a vent buddy (November 7, 2019).
Next week, our TV watch will cover Music Video Night on
Dancing with the Stars and "Head to Head" (S2 E3) on
The Gilded Age. Until then (and anytime you're in need), the
archives are available!
