This week's Notable Opening Night is Aug. 20, 1923, when the first Artists and Models revue opened at the Shubert. The revue was something of an off-Broadway transfer, having originated in Greenwich Village. In five productions from 1923-26, 1927-28, and a month in 1930, Artists and Models was a way to see topless and naked women on Broadway. Perhaps my friend, the lady who digs death, would love seeing a production?
Next week, a sharp-dressed show.

Off the top of your head, you can probably list a few different ways to enjoy the potato, but I imagine you'd also be surprised to see just how many dishes there are.
"Without the potato, the balance of European power might never have tilted north."

We had french fries last night, with Hubby's homemade Sloppy Joe's.
Yum.

It will never actually be over. I never met my partner's dad but I was with my partner when he died. His mother could not admit that I was who I was so I was the help. I knew her for about a decade. She had to treat me nice because I "wasn't" an in-law. My partner set his best friend and I against each other so we wouldn't gang up on him.

No ordinary Joe! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, July 26!
Our Top Pick tonight is The Shards (FX & Hulu, 9 p.m.). Based on a bestseller, this latest flashy period drama (1981) from the Ryan Murphy factory finds a friend group of rich kids at an L.A. prep school upended by a new arrival. Oh, and there's a serial killer on the the loose.
Elsewhere, Anya Taylor-Joy is done being Lucky, Nat Geo seeks the Lion king, sportsballs are a Beautiful Obsession, Awkwafina gives her final answer, Average Joe is back in the middle, Ted Lasso faces shareholder, America voted on Talent, Boeing is in Freefall, and Miles O'Brien seeks a Resolve to Solve.
Tonight's Top Pick is the Chicago White Sox vs. Chicago Cubs game, airing at 8 p.m. on TBS. It was either going to be this or Darren Criss on Password. Just a few more weeks left of summer. Thankfully.

I'm back and I missed it. Milwaukee has a new theme song. It came all the way from Kenya.

Blogger hatres me again. Fine. We're in open house mode. All that's missing is the casket. He wasn't Irish but when did that matter?
