Weekly Roundup: College Finals, DWTS Finale, “Gilded Age” S2 E7, “The Rings of Jeffrey,” and Paying It Forward
from Parenting Roundabout · host Parenting Roundabout
On our latest weekly roundup, Catherine's stressing through finals week from a distance.What we're watching: On Dancing with the Stars, Xochitl Gomez took home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, so it's another win for the teens. Good for her, but a big fat BOO to the judges for not giving Alyson Hannigan a full set of courtesy 10s for her freestyle dance. On The Gilded Age, season 2, episode 7, “Wonders Never Cease," but neither do big problems like your brand-new husband dying and your son getting scammed out of all your money. This was a very bad week for the Brook/Van Rhijn sisters.Catherine's library find this week is actually a book she copyedited, not one she found on the library shelves. But she hopes you'll check out this warm, lively middle-grade novel starring a tween boy who learns to look at dance in a new way. It's called The Rings of Jeffrey, and it's by Nello McDaniel.In the archives, we revisit episodes in which we discussed how parents can pay it forward (December 14, 2020), holiday gifts for pets (December 14, 2018), and morning woes (December 11, 2015). Next week, our TV watch will cover the Gilded Age season finale, "In Terms of Winning and Losing" (S2 E8). We'll also watch the movie Quiz Lady, which you can find on Hulu. Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
