How are you feeling? What questions come to your mind? Where does your mind go? Are you seeking safety? Would this have been an adrenaline rush as you raced to send the resignation response? What an "enhanced standard" regarding loyalty and trustworthiness was? What are these new "enhanced standards?" Are they beyond what my Constitutional oath requires? If I don't resign, how bright will the target on my back glow? My leadership has supported all my work, but would termination direction come from higher up the chain of command? What would you recommend if we talked over coffee? What questions would you ask? How would you use listening? How would you use silence? How is this scenario playing out in your mind and body? What is coming to the surface for you? How might that influence what you are about to say to me? What are the chances of my name popping on a list and getting fired? How about the chances of being part of an official Reduction in Force and early retirement? Would the administration make a better offer? What do I know about the pending job market?

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This week's episode was nearly unrelentingly sad for the lead character, Charlie. A brief Hurley/Libby frustration was the only relief from the nightmares and flashbacks to nightmarish real-life events.
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 13, "The Long Con." Tomorrow, we're back with our sitcom, A Man on the Inside.

Weekly Roundup: “The Girl Who Reads on the Métro,” Clockify, and Negative Self-Talk 27:57

acum 4 zile27:57

27:57

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is a slim, slightly twee French novel, The Girl Who Reads on the Métro by Christine Feret-Fleury. She doesn't give it a full-throated endorsement, but if you'd like to vicariously visit Paris and you love books, you might enjoy this. (And if you'd like to help us define the words "quirky" and "zany," leave us a comment on Instagram , X , or Facebook ). Terri's random recommendation this week is a productivity tool she's trying called Clockify . It's helping her work with her distractible tendencies, instead of fighting against them. In the archives , we checked in on an episode from 2020 on the challenges of turning negative self-talk around , in our kids and even in ourselves. Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E13, "The Long Con," on Tuesday, March 18 A Man on the Inside S1 E8, "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold," on Wednesday, March 19 Weekly roundup on Thursday, March 20 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.…

16:29

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside . While this week's episode did return to the mystery ostensibly at the heart of the show (and end on a cliffhanger, of course), it was still mostly about the melancholies of aging, with a hefty side of parent-child conflict. Cheery! Next Wednesday, we'll watch the season 1 finale, "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.…

Weekly Roundup: “I Worked Hard on That!,” AI Everywhere, and Like Talking to a Brick Wall 21:59

acum 11 zile21:59

21:59

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is a picture book called I Worked Hard on That! by Robyn Wall with pictures by A.N. Kang. It stars a cute (really!) spider whose web-weaving efforts are frequently thwarted. We also recommend a scroll down Wall's list of other titles , including My First Book of Beards , "a super-stylish board book for babies and toddlers with bearded dads" (really!). Terri's random recommendation this week is more of an observation: AI is everywhere! There's Claude , Grok , ChatGPT , and more, with some useful applications and some less so. In the archives , we checked in on an episode from 2019 on how sharing our words of wisdom sometimes feels like talking to a brick wall . Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E12, "Fire + Water," on Tuesday, March 10 A Man on the Inside S1 E7, "From Russian Hill with Love," on Wednesday, March 11 Weekly roundup on Thursday, March 12 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.…

13:25

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside . Last week, we complained that the mystery (the alleged driver of the plot) had been forgotten and been replaced by a melancholy look at aging. This week, things got even sadder as one of Charles's friends died. However, at least we got some Charles-Emily scenes, even if they were about the lack of communication between father and daughter. Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 1, episode 7, "From Russian Hill with Love." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.…

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost . In case you've forgotten, this episode would like to inform you once again that Jack has a savior complex. But he's also realized that he needs an army to take on The Others, so that's next on his to-do list. Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 12, "Fire + Water." Tomorrow, we're back with our sitcom, A Man on the Inside.…

Weekly Roundup: “Toto,” “Waitress,” and One-Star Reviews of Parenting Experiences 27:23

acum 18 zile27:23

27:23

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is Toto , by A.J. Hackwith , which is a look at the Wizard of Oz story from the perspective of Toto the dog. He tells us, "I was mostly a Good Dog until they sold me out to animal control, okay?" which sounds like a take we'd like to hear. Terri's random recommendation this week is a filmed version of a stage production of Waitress , starring Sara Bareilles and streaming on Max. We've talked about the show and the movie before, and Terri found this an enjoyable way to make use of her Max subscription. Mentioned: A song from the show, "She Used to Be Mine," performed by Jeremy Jordan , Jessie Mueller , and the show's creator, Sara Bareilles . In the archives , we checked in on an episode from 2021 on one-star reviews of parenting experiences . Mentioned: " 7 Surprisingly Busy Days in the Life of an Experimental Theater Maker " at the New York Times (gift link). Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E11, "The Hunting Party," on Tuesday, March 4 A Man on the Inside S1 E6, "Our Man in Sacramento," on Wednesday, March 5 Weekly roundup on Thursday, March 6 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.…

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside . This episode strayed rather far from the spy premise of the show, and we're wondering when it'll find its way back. And when we'll see Emily and her kids again. Come on! Put those kids on the phone, at least! Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 1, episode 6, "Our Man in Sacramento." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.…

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost . This week, it's Mr. Eko's turn for flashbacks telling his complicated and violent backstory, while he and Charlie search the jungle for the wreckage of the Beechcraft plane. The Smoke Monster returns and so do the computer messages from Walt (or someone claiming to be Walt). Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 11, "The Hunting Party." Tomorrow, we're back with our sitcom, A Man on the Inside .…

Weekly Roundup: “The Great Poop Contest,” Rosary Rings, and Life Skill Blind Spots 24:27

acum 25 zile24:27

24:27

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is from the Scatological Department of the children's section (not a real thing, but why isn't it?). It's The Great Poop Contest by Rafael Ordonez. Mentioned: Grumpy Bird by Jeremy Tankard. Terri's random recommendation this week is rosary rings , which are useful in the dentist's chair, the passenger seat, and anywhere else you need a little prayerful distraction. In the archives , we checked in on an episode from 2020 on life skill blind spots . Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E10, "The 23rd Psalm," on Tuesday, February 25 A Man on the Inside S1 E5, "Presents and Clear Danger," on Wednesday, February 26 Weekly roundup on Thursday, February 27 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.…

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside . In this episode, we missed seeing or hearing from Emily and her family, and we felt sorry for Charles as he made friends and then realized he'd need to betray them to do his job. But there were still a few of the hijinks we've come to expect. Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 1, episode 5, "Presents and Clear Danger." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.…

Parenting Tips from “Lost” S2 E9, “What Kate Did” 21:17

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost . While we've already had many a hint as to what Kate did, this week's episode breaks it all down for us, entering Kate into the Bad Parent sweepstakes with entries from her mom, dad, and stepfather. On the island, things get weirder in the hatch as Michael gets a message from his son, who's possibly grabbing some unauthorized screen time. Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 10, "The 23rd Psalm." Tomorrow, we're back with our sitcom, A Man on the Inside .…

Weekly Roundup: “Custodians of Wonder,” “Scrubs,” and Real-Life Conversation Hearts 19:25

19:25

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find comes from the adult nonfiction section this week: Custodians of Wonder: Ancient Customs, Profound Traditions, and the Last People Keeping Them Alive by Eliot Stein. She can't vouch for the author (yet) but thinks this could be an entertaining and illuminating trip around the world. Terri's random recommendation this week is the sitcom Scrubs , which ran from 2001 to 2010. She's watching it for the first time for two reasons: She's a Bill Lawrence fan (see: Shrinking ) and she needs to justify her Hulu subscription. In the archives , we checked in on an episode from 2023 on real-life conversation hearts . Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E9, "What Kate Did," on Tuesday, February 18 A Man on the Inside S1 E4, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Painting Class," on Wednesday, February 19 Weekly roundup on Thursday, February 20 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.…

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside . In this episode, we found out that you can't escape the PTA, even in a senior living residence, and that Charles and his daughter make a great team. Mentioned: a Spectrum TV ad in which a kid springs a project on his dad at bedtime, LinkedIn games , a hot buttered rum recipe (slightly more complicated than Terri's version). and Tom and Jerry batter . Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 1, episode 4, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Painting Class." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.…
