Next Weekend, Stars Hollow Will Be Just A Short Drive From Columbus ❤️☕️

Happy Friday. It's James.

This is a little out of my wheelhouse having never watched the show, so I will just say this:

Gilmore Girls fanatics, this is your moment. Don't overthink it, just go.

Finally, it's Tenacious D time! I've been counting down the days.

Nationwide protests took place last night over the forced resignation of Jeff Sessions, and here's a photo round-up of what went down in Columbus.

Talking Points ❤️

Friends4Ever...

Four central Ohio residents - Lou Capretta of Dublin, Frank Guarasci of Upper Arlington, Jim Strapp of the North Side and Larry VanOrman of Reynoldsburg - have been friends for 60(!) years. They're all originally from Columbus, and they all went to OSU, but they met at their first jobs after college (in 1955-56!) and have stayed friends since. They now meet monthly for lunch, and the Dispatch profiles them during a lunch at Lindey's.

 ❤️

This happy hour looks ridic...

Find it at Rockmill Tavern. Nothing's over $5, and the menu includes biscuits to die for and Adobo wings that look incredible. Tue-Fri, 3-6 PM, and I promise, the pictures will sell you.

 🍗🍯

Saying the right things...

Mike DeWine held his first press conference as governor-elect. Key takeaways included DeWine laying out his commitment to bipartisan solutions, a willingness to work with both Republican and Democratic mayors, the creation of both a cabinet-level position to work on children's issues and a cabinet position to oversee our military installations (Wright-Pat, NASA Glenn). DeWine also revealed he will be living in the governor's mansion in Bexley during the week, a change from his predecessor.

Feeling like an underdog...

Mariott Traveler recently highlighted Columbus with an article titled "Columbus, Ohio, Is an Underdog Destination but Shouldn’t Be. Here’s Why."

6.5 weeks...

I'm not an "exhausted mama" (does exhausted papa count?) but I deeply identify with this holiday hacking article from Lakes & Lattes entitled "The Exhausted Mama’s Guide to Hacking the Holidays". #2 on the list is so key.
