    We thought about a "pirates and princesses" theme for the festival, but I couldn't choke down the "princesses" part. So we are doing "superheroes," which, mark my words, are the next pirates. [Actually, I'd say that ninjas are the next pirates, and superheroes are the next ninjas.]

Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.
