Hello Family Dinner Diners,

Geez... what dreamy weather we're looking at this weekend. Pretty dang perfect for laying around outside with a good book. We've got some recos.

First up, a repost from this time last year of an amazing book Erin got her mitts on:

Dog Days of Summer

Happy Friday Everyone-

The dog days of summer are upon us!

I only recently got curious enough about the etymology of that term to actually look it up and I kinda fell in love with the backstory.

In the Northern Hemisphere, Sirius, The Dog Star, starts to rise in our skies along with the temperature. It burns bright. So bright, in fact, you can often see it during the day, rising and setting alongside the sun. When the term was coined in the 16th century, it was a direct translation of the latin term that the Romans were using when Sirius, which, speaking of hot dogs, literally means "scorching", was believed to have been the source of all that additional heat. Now and forever, whenever I spot Sirius in the day time sky, I'll think of it as the sun's loyal good boy. And crave a hot dog... more than usual. (Thanks, Dictionary.com!)

Getting Salty

I find myself craving good news. Lighthearted, feel good news to serve as a chaser for the bitter tastes in the diet of the content we consume. I'm like one of those drug sniffing dogs at the airport, plodding from bag to bag for a whiff of contraband, but instead of heroin, your girl just wants to read stories about bears cooling off in swimming pools.

During the pandemic, John Krasinski (that cutie patootie from The Office) started a show from his home called Some Good News. Man, was it a delight, and so desperately needed. In one episode, they surprise a 9 year old girl named Aubrey with the whole cast of Hamilton (her absolute fave) on a Zoom call and she goes completely bananas. I've watched it like 324 times.
