I just watched an interview with Erin Murphy, who played Tabitha on bewitched. She gave some interesting background info on an episode that I watched a few years ago, which made me think "that was a little unusual for such a lightweight show." After watching the video, I checked with Wikipedia and found out the episode aired on Christmas Eve and before it started, Elizabeth Montgomery welcomed the television audience to the bewitched Christmas episode. In it, Samantha and Darren are friends with a black couple who have a daughter Tabitha's age and they are going out of town and the daughter is going to sleep over. Tabitha is delighted that she will have a "new sister" to play with. I don't remember the specifics, but somehow they get the message that they can't be sisters because they are not the same color. So Tabitha does her nose twitch thing, and first turns the girl white then she turns both of them brown then she makes them both their regular color, but the girl has pink polkadots all over her and Tabitha has brown polkadots all over her. The black couple comes back to get their daughter during Samantha and Darren's Christmas party and they wind up staying and Darren's uncool client thinks Darren is in an interracial marriage and doesn't want to work with him because he thinks Darren is unstable. In the end, of course it all works out, and Samantha gives the girls a simple and age appropriate speech about sisterhood and brotherhood. Erin said they were all a bit worried about what the reception would be because if you think about it, Tabitha was in black face part of the time but no one at all objected because they saw the intent of the episode and in fact it won a special Emmy award. But here is the really cool thing… The episode came about because a very creative 10th grade teacher at a nearby high school wanted to inspire her class so she said to them why don't you write an episode of bewitched. They did and then submitted it and Elizabeth Montgomery and her husband loved it. Even better… The teacher and all the students were on the set all week from the initial table read to time in the writers room updating the script after the initial table read to the actual filming and before the episode was shot all the female students had their hair done. Pretty cool, huh? Erin said this was Elizabeth Montgomery's favorite episode and she said for her it was definitely the most memorable shooting experience. And I know Darren is misspelled throughout this fascinating story but I dictated it and Siri is an idiot!

https://www.brownstoner.com/real-estate-market/brooklyn-heights-194-columbia-heights-photos/ It has been a mystery for decades, with its chained doors and boarded up windows, but sunlight is finally illuminating the interior of an Italianate brownstone in Brooklyn Heights, providing a glimpse of some tantalizing details. Brownstoner had a chance to walk, carefully, through the interior of 194 Columbia Heights to gaze upon the mantels, ceiling medallions, moldings, and other impressive details that are still intact inside the long closed-up dwelling. There isn’t any electricity, but a sunny day, and flashlights, allowed a wander through the grandly scaled interior. The brownstone hit the market this month for $15 million — the first time it has been on the market since the 1960s. A fair amount of work was done before it was ready for showings.

RJ Decker ended its ten episode season last night. It's not the greatest show I ever watched but I enjoyed it. Lightweight and breezy with a cast that I can watch on a regular basis. I hope it gets renewed.

Max Muncy of the A's, born August 25th, went on the injured list today with a broken finger. Max Muncy of the Dodgers, born August 25th, reported no issues with his fingers. (their fingers are not related)

and the late Rickey Henderson, too.

With all the times I've re-watched the show and all the reaction videos I've watched, I've never been able to figure out the answer to one mystery from episode six… After Shane's father drives off and Shane starts to melt down Ilya is standing there trying to calm him down and behind Ilya is a bench and during the scene the towel that Ilya had brought up from the water slides off the bench and onto the floor and there is nothing in the scene that would indicate why that happens. Maybe it will be addressed in season two.

And since Meredith's dad is the one who knocked up Laurie Metcalf when she was preggers on Roseanne, that means Meredith is related to Andy, the 'Chuck Cunningham' of the Conner family.

THE GATES OF HELL: New York City storefronts that still drop solid metal gates at closing time are officially on the clock. The Department of Buildings took to X on Feb. 25, 2026 to remind property owners that roll-down security grilles on buildings classified as Business (Group B) or Mercantile (Group M) must meet a visibility standard by July 1, 2026. Owners are being told to check their Certificate of Occupancy or the building code to confirm whether the rules cover their particular storefront. What the rule requires The regulation says that horizontal or vertical grilles installed along the sidewalk must allow at least 70 percent visibility when they are closed. Any grille that was installed or replaced on or after July 1, 2011 has to hit that 70 percent mark no later than July 1, 2026, according to the Department of Buildings. The advisory ties the schedule to Local Law 75 of 2009 and flags the relevant sections of the 2022 Building Code. I saw an interview with a store owner who complained that not only will he be out over $10,000 for a new gate, and that he was also worried that mischief-makers could just shove something through the gaps in a compliant gate and break his window.

Young Sheldon's mom is Meredith Grey's dad's daughter. Meredith Grey's mom is Richard Burton's daughter. Ergo... Meredith is the some degree of Kevin Bacon between Liz and Shel.

I can quote The Golden Girls for any situation in life. 😎 You, too?

The finale probably could've been done just as well in 90 minutes, but it was satisfying enough. In the end, I think the switch from Billy to Hunter was a net positive.

Move over, baby name books — this kindergarten class just rewrote the rules of identity, one “Hello My Name Is” sticker at a time. Jordan Lake, a fifth-year kindergarten teacher, is going viral on Instagram after filming himself letting his pint-sized pupils temporarily ditch their given names in favor of something a little more … imaginative. “Letting students change their name for the day because they’re only young once,” he titled the Reel — and buckle up, because the results are exactly as delightfully unhinged as you’d hope. In the clip topping 7.5 million views, a jovial Lake sits at his desk, armed with a stack of name tags and a Sharpie, calmly preparing for chaos. Spoiler alert: chaos delivered. “What do you want your name to be for the rest of the day?” Lake asks one student off-camera. “Marshmallow,” the child answers without a single beat of hesitation. No notes. Next up? A budding branding genius. “Uh, Ochy,” another student says, barely holding in a giggle after an apparent reference to the AI running app. “I was thinking in my head, I think Ochy is the perfect name.” Frankly, who are we to argue with that kind of conviction? As seen in the viral clip, the pint-sized rebrand wasn’t just cute — it doubled as a surprisingly sharp lesson in imagination, focus, and a lot less toy-induced chaos. “I love that,” Lake replies. “Do you know what it means, or it just sounds cute?” “Mmm, I don’t know,” the student admits — proving once and for all that vibes are sometimes all you need. “Nice to meet you, Ochy,” Lake says, handing over the freshly minted identity like it’s no big deal. The names unfolded in a range from silly to sugary sweet to totally made-up, with requests for Kipper and Morty — seeming nods to the animated TV characters — as well as Shady, Foggy, Hello, Wiggly, and Bhum Bhum Kachoom, and even a retro-bland Cindy. And in a particularly cheeky turn, Mr. Lake’s students used the “classroom rebrand” to change his name … wait for it … Mr. River. But viewers were quick to point out there’s something deeper going on beneath the giggles. The exercise, parents and fellow teachers noted in the comments, doubles as a playful lesson in autonomy, imagination — and, yes, basic respect. “This is such an awesome idea. Also, it illustrates the idea so clearly that it’s just not hard to call people by their preferred names,” one wrote. Another added, “Teachers be earning gold stars every damn day!! Love this!” Others were simply charmed by the tiny trendsetters themselves. “So cute!!! I love their little voices,” someone else weighed in. “This is so fun! They will remember this forever!” one other noted. Another commented, “I absolutely love everything. Name choices, your reactions, the joy.” Viewers are calling the name-changing experiment a masterclass in make-believe — no batteries (or baby name books) required. And if there were any doubts about Lake’s classroom cred, the comments section shut that down fast. “Love it !!! Your kiddos are lucky to have you,” one person wrote. Between Marshmallow, Ochy and whatever comes next, one thing’s clear: in this classroom, creativity is king — and for one glorious day, you can be whoever (or whatever) you want. As The Post previously reported, experts say a little imagination goes a long way — and that kids don’t need a mountain of toys to have fun. In fact, too many playthings can send their tiny brains into overload. “We keep bringing home more and more toys, thinking this is the toy that will get my kid into Harvard,” Dr. Alexia Metz, an occupational therapist and mom of twins, recently told TODAY.com. “But then we don’t see the value in their playing because they can’t organize themselves enough to play.” In a widely cited 2017 study out of the University of Toledo, Metz put toddlers to the test — observing 18- to 30-month-olds in playrooms packed with varying amounts of toys. Give them 16 options, and it was total toy mayhem — kids ping-ponging from one shiny distraction to the next like tiny, overstimulated social butterflies. But slash the stash to just four toys, and suddenly, calm prevailed. The tots slowed down, focused up and actually played — stacking blocks, pressing buttons and diving headfirst into pretend scenarios — the kind of deep, imaginative play child development experts can’t get enough of.

Tucked away Rare Brooklyn carriage house lists for $5.8M on a hidden street where homes almost never sell Nestled behind a tucked-away block that most New Yorkers don’t know exists, a 19th-century carriage house in Brooklyn Heights has just landed on the market for $5.795 million. The property at 28 College Place sits on a private, landscaped mews just off Love Lane, a cobblestoned sliver of old New York that has barely changed since horse-drawn carriages were still a mode of transportation. It remains one of the few hidden streets that only houses carriage homes. Built around 1899, the two-story structure stretches 2,640 square feet and retains nearly everything original — tin ceilings, hardwood floors, cast iron radiators, hay doors, transoms, and ornate moldings that date to the building’s working-stable days. This is not a gut renovation dressed up in vintage clothing. The place is authentically, stubbornly old. Three bedrooms and 1.5 baths are spread across the two floors, with a full kitchen and dining area anchored by a center island. The ground floor is wide open and can serve as a garage, art studio, or whatever a buyer with imagination dreams up. Skylights and oversized windows flood the interior with natural light. College Place itself is the kind of address that rarely appears in any conversation, let alone a real estate listing. A landmarked cul-de-sac in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, it is lined with 19th-century carriage houses and anchored by the boutique Love Lane Mews condominium. According to Compass listing agent Jack Elliot Heard, “College Place dates back to the mid-1800s as part of the Brooklyn Heights development as a major commuter town to Manhattan,” he told The Post. The last carriage house to sell there was at 32 College Place, which sold in 2022 for $6.45 million. Prior, it had been held by the same owner since 2009. “The carriage houses were built to store stables, carriages and staff members,” Heard added. “Being tucked away, hidden and becoming a Landmarked District in 1965, it is one of the enclaves of Brooklyn Heights that has frozen in time and is now home to some of the most special homes that not just Brooklyn, but New York City has to offer.” The home last sold in 2005. Its most recent owner, Robert “Rob” Iannucci — a retired New York attorney, motorsports figure and preservationist — passed away in December at 80. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ‘Rare’ Tiny-Home Compound Featuring 3 Adorable Abodes Hits the Market in Seattle for Just $900K A unique collection of tiny homes built across a single lot in Seattle has just hit the market for the bargain price of $900,000. That boils down to just $300,000 per home. Located on the outskirts of Puget Park, the properties have been meticulously restored in recent years, having previously been used as accommodation for staff at a nearby industrial estate. "When the sellers bought the property, they were three little huts that were falling apart," says listing agent Patti Hill of John L. Scott–West Seattle. "They were used as workers' homes. The sellers rebuilt them between 2021 and 2023, and now they are way cool." Originally constructed in 1907 in the gated Industrial District West, the multifamily cedar-sided cottages have come a long way from the crumbling structures that the sellers found in 2015, when they purchased the property for just $60,000. Today, the three dwellings boasts modernized spaces with loft-style interiors and a world of opportunity for their future use. Each Pigeon Point residence offers one bedroom, one bathroom, and a kitchen space, meaning that they can operate as entirely independent properties. Hardwood and concrete floors, exposed beams, sleek kitchens and bathrooms, skylights, and energy-efficient thermal windows can be found throughout the interiors. Each tiny home also has a private deck. For the past few years, the compound has operated as a kind of micro-neighborhood, with each dwelling serving as a private residence for a long-term renter. "The sellers have long-term renters using them," Hill explains. "I think the next buyer will probably be an investor who will keep it as a rental property. It could also be someone looking to live in one of the cottages as a primary residence and rent the other two out." Alternatively, the compound would be a unique multigenerational abode. Or if a group of friends are looking to get onto the property ladder for a lower price, it could be turned into a kind of modern commune. "An ideal setup for investors, owner-users, or anyone looking for a unique multi-home property in a prime Seattle location," the listing notes. Located on just one fully fenced-in lot, the triplex community is centered around a patio, offering a "shared community vibe," while also maintaining the privacy of each resident. "All of the residents get along, and there is a fire pit that everyone uses," Hill says. What's more, because the homes all occupy a single lot, the taxes are incredibly low. Records show that 2025 fees were just $8,106 for all three properties. "It's one lot. We didn't split the lot, so it's one tax parcel," the listing agent confirms. Almost as intriguing as the three detached cottage assemblage is the compound's unusual site. "It's an interesting location that is very industrial," Hill reveals. "There is a working waterway a block away where ships come in and load containers." https://www.realtor.com/news/unique-homes/tiny-home-compound-rare-seattle/?cid=psc_nyp_syndication_unique-homes_tiny-home-compound-rare-seattle

Just a few hours ago I watched a clip of George Burns on the tonight show when he was 93. He was smoking his "10th or 11th" cigar of the day. Carson asked how many he smoked a day. "fifteen to twenty." Carson asked what his doctor says when he tells him that. "My doctor's dead."

https://www.bkreader.com/non-profit-community/nyc-unveils-first-urban-forest-plan-12177522 City leaders on Tuesday unveiled New York City’s first Urban Forest Plan, a long-term strategy to expand and protect the city’s tree canopy, with a focus on neighborhoods like Red Hook that have faced climate and infrastructure challenges. The plan sets a goal of reaching 30% tree canopy by 2040, up from 23.4% today, or roughly 45,000 acres citywide. The announcement brought together leadership from City Hall, NYC Parks, NYCHA and nonprofit partners, followed by a stewardship activity on the campus to the Red Hook Houses. “No matter where you live, work, or spend time outside, all New Yorkers know the immediate relief that comes from standing under the shade of a tree on a hot day. What may be less obvious is that trees are one of the most affordable and accessible ways to help adapt to a changing climate,” New York City Chief Climate Officer Louise Yeung said in a statement. “Yet for too long, New Yorkers of color in environmental justice communities have been left behind, lacking critical access to trees and all the benefits they provide." Expanding tree coverage is intended to reduce extreme heat, improve air quality and better manage stormwater, while addressing long-standing environmental inequities. Environmental justice communities currently have about 19% canopy coverage, compared with 26% in other areas of the city. At Red Hook Houses, the effort is closely tied to recovery from Hurricane Sandy. About 450 trees were removed after the storm to make way for flood protection infrastructure, reshaping the campus landscape and limiting shade for residents over the past decade, officials said.

Mindy Cohn is battling cancer again. The Facts of Life star opened up about the disease returning, nearly a decade after she revealed a years-long battle with breast cancer, in a post shared to her Instagram on Sunday. "Have been off social media for awhile 'cuz i had to go kick cancer's ass," Cohn wrote, over a picture of herself smirking and giving the camera a thumbs up while laying in a hospital bed. "I did so with the extraordinary help of Providence Saint John's Hospital staff, especially my nurses Finja, Patty and Courtney and my hero, the phenomenal oncology surgeon [Dr. Anton Bilchik]." Cohn lavished praised on Bilchik, the division chair of General Surgery at the Santa Monica hospital. She also thanked three friends: The Morning Show actress Tara Karsian, The Rookie star Gregory Zarian, and his husband, John Stewart. She described the trio as my advocates," who are "always on the ready to help me when it's 'my turn.'" In closing, Cohn noted that she'll be "recouping for another couple of weeks and then ready for my next adventure. Onwards! F**K Cancer!" Cohn first revealed her "devastating" five-year battle with cancer in 2017. "I was walking around my neighborhood in Los Angeles and I suddenly got so tired," she told PEOPLE at the time. "I just couldn't go anymore. This was before Uber was really a thing, so I texted my friend [Helen Hunt] and said, 'Something's wrong with me. I need help.'" A visit to a doctor led to the discovery of a lump in her breast, which was eventually diagnosed as breast cancer. Cohn underwent a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation, eventually receiving a much-desired cancer-free update.

Logan runs to Cabot Cove?

Woman, 96, enlists 150-pound dog to plant spring flowers: She points, he digs A video of Barbara Collins and Chewy gardening together has amassed millions of views on social media. April 15, 2026. Barbara Collins, 96, stands in her garden and points with her cane toward a patch of soil. “And dig,” Collins commands the 150-pound Newfoundland beside her. The dog lowers his head and starts to dig with his paws exactly where she pointed. Collins plants a small bunch of pink flowers, then pats the soil into place with her hands. They repeat until all of her flowers — marigolds, Superbells, pansies and dianthus — are in the ground. When the backyard garden is finished, Collins strokes the dog’s ears. “You did a good job, Chewy,” she says to her granddaughter’s dog, who she considers her great-granddog. The interaction on April 2 was captured by Collins’s granddaughter, Amy Savino, who lives next door in Wake Forest, North Carolina, and often films her grandmother with Chewy. Savino said Collins does not have the balance and strength to kneel and dig the holes on her own, and is grateful Chewy, 4, is there to help. “They’re just best friends,” said Savino, 39. “He’s always had such a sweet, sweet bond with her.” This was the first time Collins and Chewy gardened together, Savino said, but the dog has long been able to dig on command. Because he’s a skilled digger, Collins had the idea of gardening with Chewy. Savino posted a video of their teamwork on social media, and it quickly amassed more than 11 million views and thousands of comments: “Grandma’s not so little helper.” “He did a fantastic job on his assignment for his Great Grandma!” “I just know she feeds him premium deli meats.” While Collins doesn’t feed Chewy deli meats, she does make him grilled cheese sandwiches and shares ice cream with him. She also bakes him dog-friendly cupcakes and fixes his broken toys. “I think she wakes up and is like, ‘What can I do for Chewy today?’” said Savino, adding that the dog is named after Chewbacca from Star Wars. Their videos often go viral, and Chewy has nearly 500,000 followers on TikTok and Instagram. “I’m so in love with your precious grandma and Chewy. Their loving relationship is priceless. I can be feeling down and watching them changes everything for me,” someone commented on an Instagram video. “Come on! Just when you think these two cannot be more precious … here we are,” another person chimed in. Chewy sitting on Collins’s lap. Image Credit: Amy Savino Savino said she began posting videos of Chewy on social media about two years ago, when her daughter asked to create a TikTok account. Savino told her she could post videos of the dog but not herself. People quickly took a liking to Chewy, and Savino soon began posting from the account as well. “It became such a hobby for me,” said Savino, who lives with her husband and their three children, ages 15, 12 and 10. Videos featuring Chewy with Collins tend to get the most attention from people. “It reminds them of connection, a really pure, joyful connection,” Savino said. Collins moved in with Savino’s parents 30 years ago when Collins’s husband died. “I basically grew up with her,” Savino said. In 2015, Savino and her husband bought the house next door to Savino’s parents’ home. They see Collins every day. “She’s a priority,” Savino said of her grandmother. “If I don’t come over here, she will come to my house.” Collins keeps active and credits her longevity to staying busy. “She cooks, she cleans … she paints, she sews,” Savino said. “She’s hanging out with Chewy, interacting with us.” Collins said spending time with her family — including Chewy — is the highlight of her days. “He’s my baby dog. I love him very much,” she said. “I’m a lucky person.” Savino said their bond has been strong since Chewy was a puppy. Collins with Chewy when he was a puppy. Image Credit: Amy Savino “I think he feels a sense of vulnerability with her,” she said. “He’s sweet. He’s slower to move. She’ll walk down the stairs, and he’ll wait until she’s down until he goes. It’s almost like he’s thinking ahead. … He would do anything for her.” Although Chewy can at times be a high-maintenance dog — he is a notoriously picky eater — he is especially gentle and well-behaved with Collins. “He likes to do whatever I want him to do,” Collins said. “He is always looking at me and smiling.” Collins said she recently took up gardening and plans to spend many more afternoons in the yard with Chewy by her side. “I wanted him to dig, and he just did exactly what I told him to do,” she said. Several other videos of Collins and Chewy have gone viral, including clips of the pair doing an Easter egg hunt, playing in the snow, walking in the rain (with Collins holding an umbrella over Chewy) and opening Christmas presents. Collins and Chewy celebrating Valentine’s Day together. Image Credit: Amy Savino “I think it gives people joy,” Savino said. “She treats him like a grandchild.” Collins said that the unexpected social media attention has been “kind of exciting” and that she’s glad people are touched by their relationship.
