A woman is just about to cross the finish line of a half marathon. Her husband encourages their kids to celebrate with her. Except that he does this before the finish line, not after. He literally pushes two of the kids into her path to hug her. She deftly runs around them to cross the finish line. /1

And he's trying to damage the relationship between her and her kids. They don't understand the finish line. They just know they ran to their mom and she ran past them, which I'm sure they're not used to. She's the one who's going to have to explain to them later why she did that. /3

This is even worse than the men who otherwise try to ruin big moments in a woman's life, whether it be a sporting accomplishment or a graduation or something else. But this is worse because he's weaponizing their young children. /4 end

Last weekend, I got to try the shaaken beef with Tattooine bounty, which includes peppers, onions and crispy kale, from , a dish that debuted on May 4 this year. The dish was ok, a little salty, which is saying a lot coming from me. I wouldn't order it again. /1

When the husband took the dish back up, the cast member looked at it, looked confused, and then called for another of the dish, which is what he brought back. He said the CM didn't seem to know what the dish was either.

You can see in this picture, of the regular dish, that it does contain a few pieces of gnocchi, which are the orange lumps at the bottom middle of the picture. (Not the bigger orange lump at the bottom right - that's a pepper.) /4

I think this is a terrific vegetarian offering, and I would absolutely order it, especially with the abundance of kale. The question would be how to go about doing that, and if it's available, why isn't it included on the menus in the app?

I don't know which part is supposed to be the "Tattooine bounty" though. Surely not any of the vegetable matter, from a desert planet, so maybe the gnocchi? /5 end

They "accidentally" wrote up an entire section blaming a 9 year old for unknowingly being filmed in an airplane bathroom . Even if it was a pie-in-the-sky defense that was only supposed to be in the draft and not actually filed, that's a crappy position to take regardless.

While we were waiting for the fireworks last night at , we noticed the dark circle from the first fireball in at floating overhead. We were hoping that the winds would blow the right way so it would ring the moon, but alas, it was not meant to be. Might need to sit on Main Street at some point to follow a ring.

Saw again today, and we saw Kevin with Russell! I don't think we saw them last week. So cute.

Got to see Dug today. His talking collar works too. There was a little girl who was so incredibly happy to see him. She didn't want to leave. 1/2

Back in stock and a good discount meant I couldn't say no this time. The with the stormtrooper helmet drums on the sleeve sealed it. And because the ewok in the AT-ST on the back is to the side and further down, you can still see them when I'm wearing it.

He's not sorry he abused and assaulted Cassie Ventura. If he was, he would have issued this statement long ago, before he was forced to because the footage surfaced.

And he generically apologizes. He doesn't apologize to her personally, for assaulting her and for lying about it.

This is a very different than the last time I came to a game. I come to the Stadium once a year for the 5k but I haven't been to a game in forever. For the record, the soju flavor is peach.

I was very fortunate to be able to attend this tribute to . What an amazing evening. And to top it off, they didn't pick this date for that reason, but today would have been Howard's 74th birthday.

The main guests were John Musker and Ron Clements, who, among other things, directed the animated films and , so they had a lot of stories to tell about Howard. /1

For "Beauty and the Beast", there was a clip played of a recording session for the song "Be Our Guest", from the documentary "Waking Sleeping Beauty". If you haven't seen that documentary, I highly recommend it. It's available on Disney+, and I believe it's available for rent or purchase from other platforms. /5

The evening ended with a rendition of the title track from "Beauty and the Beast" from Darren Criss on the piano.

Thank you to everyone involved for an incredible evening. /6 end

Celebrating the life and lyrics of Howard Ashman

I saw last night, and I generally liked it, though I much preferred the second half to the first half. I thought the set-up took too much time, and I might also have liked the approach to be a little different. I also never really got the motivation for why Bea took on the endeavor, which I think would have helped. /1

I did have a problem with one of the IFs (IF means Imaginary Friend) in that every time a person was in front of them, it looked completely like the person was standing in front of a screen with the IF projected on it. Didn't have that problem with any of the other IFs, so it was weird and really ripped me out of the story.

There's no after-credits scene per se, but there is an acknowledgement at the very end that was nice. /2

I've been thinking that it seems very coincidental that two movies about imaginary friends were coming out within months of each other, taking polar opposite turns of what happens to the forgotten friends. I was interested in knowing what happened in "Imaginary" but there was no way I could watch it. /3 end
