The Tube: Parenthood and Friendship
After seven years of watching “Gilmore Girls,” the series finale was bittersweet. I went through high school and college during the same time as the main character, Rory.

If you know who Gygax is, you’re probably smiling; if not, here’s a clue: Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), the fantasy role-playing game that rocked the gaming scene in the 1970s and ’80s.

On the Table: If You Give a Frog a Cookie
Arnold Lobel’s storybook characters Frog and Toad are two of the literary giants from my childhood that have enjoyed second, third and (currently) fourth revivals for me as I’ve shared their stories with each of my children.

Correction: No Joan Rivers movie this month
Correction to the “Now Playing” section in Talking Movies, LV121 (the current issue): The Bijou has some great films showing in November, but Joan Rivers: a Piece of Work is not one of them.

Neil Berkeley, playing at the Bijou on Nov. 9), stating that since it was for the Little Village online […]
