We fondly remember the legendary Bob Newhart, whose recent passing has led us to reflect on his monumental contributions to comedy. From playing a sharp-witted psychiatrist, to a cartoonist (Bob), to a charming Vermont innkeeper, Newhart's TV shows brought laughter and memorable characters like Larry, Daryl, and Daryl into our homes. We also take a trip down memory lane to the era of comedy records, celebrating how pioneers like Newhart, Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, and Don Rickles turned their stand-up routines into vinyl treasures, creating an intimate and unforgettable listening experience.

Switching to a more personal note, we recount Anne's delightful birthday celebration that started with poolside fun and culminated in a gastronomic adventure at restaurant Leonessa (the loudest, most uncomfortable restaurant ever). Picture this: savoring a sumptuous burrata appetizer, then trying very loudly to converse over the din of what sounds like 300 teenagers all talking at once while celebrating with friends. Adding a tech twist to the festivities, Anne received a pair of Ray-Ban Meta glasses, opening up new possibilities from photo-taking to language translation. It was a night to remember, filled with great food, laughter, and a touch of modern magic.

But life isn't just about celebrations; it’s also about cherishing the memories of those we've lost. In our heartfelt closing chapter, we share poignant reflections on the deep sorrow of missing loved ones, especially those taken from us during the summer. Through lyrics and memories of past gatherings, we explore the enduring connections that remain despite physical absence. Finally, we leave you with some viewing recommendations: the Netflix series "Unlocked" and the inspiring film "Sing Sing," featuring Clarence Macklin. Tune in for a rich blend of nostalgia, celebration, and heartfelt reflection.
