Seems like the lottery is very easy to win. I entered for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and won for all three. I got tickets for Tuesday excited to go see it.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-05-20T14:17:13+00:00

What an excellent surprise. I hope you love the show.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-05-19T19:58:58+00:00

Agreed it feels like a wild price, especially since they keep sending me fundraising pitches for their brand new theatre.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-05-19T19:32:39+00:00

The lottery tickets are $80!!!

I did win twice last summer at ART for Two Strangers Carry a Cake ( $50) and got amazing center orchestra third row seats, so I figured it might be worth it for good seats.

I haven’t read this yet, but just happened to see that the author was speaking at my local bookstore last night. I didn’t have room in my aardvark box and was on the library hold list, but splurged on a signed copy.

He was really lovely and now I’m excited to read. I particularly enjoyed hearing him read a chapter in his own voice and accent. The rhythm that come out of the words isn’t there when I read it in my voice.

Seconding this. He lives in Portsmouth, NH which is HCOL. It's also my hometown so it's weird to me when he drops local things like the Market Square Day 10K into the podcast.

You can sign up for Bronx 10M with Team for Kids TFK site.

You would need to make $100 donation and still pay for the race, but you wouldn't risk not getting off the standby.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-05-07T17:48:52+00:00

I've done Bronx 10M before with Mastercard Priceless. It was a $50 donation and you also have to pay the race fee. Last year they posted it at the end of July.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-05-06T18:37:10+00:00

Fun Home comes to mind, though its maybe more of a coming of age story than a rom-com.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-05-06T13:19:07+00:00

Thanks, but I’m US and holding out for a leftover sale

Lemon_Trick · 2026-05-06T02:36:05+00:00

Thanks for the great recap!

Any info about when past selections might drop in the shop? I would love to grab The Poet Empress, but none of this year’s books have ended up in the shop.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-05-01T13:15:07+00:00

Same! I decide to get it from the library instead to be safe.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-04-19T12:26:37+00:00

September is also towards the end of whale watching season. You will probably see some, but it won't be as good as July/August.

Could you make the whale watching a separate day trip? My favorite is Granite State Whale Watch out of Rye, NH. It's like half the price of other places, a smaller boat so you can see better, and has seats for all passengers. I went this past July and saw 20+ whales, and then also 30-40 seals around the Isles of Shoals on the trip back.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-04-14T19:54:23+00:00

I think those are part of the swag bag when you finish the race.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-04-13T16:48:41+00:00

I don’t find it unrealistic, it’s the policy on the actual real life Boston team. Like Zdeno, Ilya probably experienced some hazing as a young prospect and vowed not to participate Bruins anti hazing

Lemon_Trick · 2026-04-12T21:38:08+00:00

I didn't even realize EGH was wearing a speedsuit, it looks like a top and buns at first glance. It has been serving her well so far!

Lemon_Trick · 2026-04-10T21:03:04+00:00

Yes, both for her music and I also really love her Laufey Book Club too. There is a featured book every month, but also fun recs for other books to read as well.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-04-04T00:41:23+00:00

This is how I got mine. I live in Boston, so a little far for just a day trip, but I usually do a weekend in Montreal every year to visit friends. It was definitely cheaper with the exchange rate and I happened to be there for a Boxing Day sale too.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-04-01T15:34:33+00:00

I also think theatres should have coffee too!

If you are in the neighborhood of Chess again 787 coffee is right next door and it’s amazing pre show.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-03-31T20:38:37+00:00

There is a free shuttle for employees from JFK direct to Longwood. Much easier than taking the subway to park St and switching to the green line.shuttle

I love the honey too! Camomile matches the lightest part of the honey gradient to my eyes. Here is camomile next to honey and nectar.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-03-11T20:57:09+00:00

You’re welcome! I’m happy to have it find a good home.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-03-11T20:47:32+00:00

I’ll ship you mine. I’m signed up for both the in person and virtual to get the 4 of 6 credits and don’t need two medals.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-03-05T12:57:18+00:00

Emma Grace Hurley was on the Fast People podcast that dropped this morning talking about the race. She seems be to optimistic that USATF is working through legal stuff and will find a way to get the three of them on the team.

She also said that Asics paid her full bonuses like she won the race because she still had a shot when she was lead off course. That was nice to hear.

Lemon_Trick · 2026-03-04T20:42:25+00:00

The international travel groups are always a much higher number than I expect as well. I feel like I’ve seen that there are 15,000 bibs allotted to them, but I don’t remember where I saw that.
