What’s On TV?
We don’t watch a whole lot of TV, so the things we pick are carefully selected and we set aside the time to follow the smart shows. Here are some reviews of what’s on now.
Food
It’s What’s For Dinner. And lunch, and occasionally breakfast. Here are a few highlights (and not-so-highlights) from our trip down to Maryland and Virginia.
