As I once heard @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social say, “if you’re ever wondering what to watch, just watch ‘Big Night.’ It’s always the right answer.”
"Big Night" (1996): a perfect movie. That omelette! Was there ever such an omelette!

Grateful to Tim for sharing his story. In the words of one of the sources for this story: “We’re all three paychecks away from something like this.”
Tim Walters was doing his best to support his family — but living in a two-bedroom apartment with four children and extended family brought new challenges.
His story of change, resilience, and finding a way forward.
His story of change, resilience, and finding a way forward.

So, @audacyinc.bsky.social has launched an “original” podcast called “Family Lore,” with a description that’s strikingly similar to my show, “Family Ghosts,” which premiered back in 2017.
I’m certainly not claiming to have invented the genre of family storytelling, but…c’mon guys.

Last year's Orioles were 3-3 on April 2nd, and never got back to .500 the rest of the way. 6-6 on April 8th is...not amazing, but much improved!
