On our latest weekly roundup, we check in with our furry family members. Terri's dog is making friends, and Catherine's are making enemies.

What we're watching: On The Afterparty, this week's episode, "Sebastian," was a heist caper, complete with double-crosses, switcheroos, and high-stakes Connect 4 games. On Brothers & Sisters, "Prior Commitments" brought us another wedding, and another secret sibling?!

Catherine's library find this week is a heavy, expensive-looking coffee table book featuring black-and-white portraits of chickens accompanied by quotations from literary classics. How are the two connected? Literary Chickens leaves that up to the reader.

In the archives, we revisit chats on the emptying nest (August 12, 2021), those little-kid days (August 13, 2018), and summer transitions (August 7, 2015).

We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E6 of The Afterparty ("Danner's Fire") and the season premiere of Only Murders in the Building, which is back for season 3 (the episode is "The Show Must..."). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the archives await you!
