On our latest weekly roundup, we check in on social events, with kids and without; at this point, sharing a fast-food lunch with a friend is a special treat.

What we're watching: Only Murders in the Building is back! Season 3 started with a fake-out death and then a real murder that was, conveniently, in the building. We're looking forward to following along as our heroes solve the mystery. On The Afterparty, this week's episode, "Danner's Fire," gave us very little to go on in terms of mystery-solving, so we felt pretty cheated.

Catherine's library find this week is a children's book that you have to see to appreciate. It's Lou, the story of an anthropomorphic fire hydrant.

In the archives, we revisit chats on pride and parenting (August 15, 2022), college in the olden days (August 16, 2021), and kids' activities we enjoyed (August 17, 2018).
​
We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E7 of The Afterparty ("Ulysses") and S3 E3 of Only Murders in the Building (“Grab Your Hankies”). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the archives await you!
