It also underscores the demands of being a stay-at-home parent — there are no breaks, no sick days, and no PTO. This always prompts a pause before I reveal I'm a stay-at-home dad.

I was driving my family's new puppy, Tino, to the vet one day when a pet psychic came on the radio. Tino, who we jokingly call the most chill puppy in the world, started howling every time the psychic spoke. I wasn't trying to connect with my other dogBefore Tino, I had had another dog for 10 years named Violet. AdvertisementShe told me that Violet loved life, which was evident because that dog knew how to smile. But hearing from someone else, someone who didn't know her, what a happy dog she was helped me heal a little bit.

☆ ‘Days of Wine and Roses’ Review: Romance on the Rocks
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-28 | by ( Laura Collins-Hughes | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Seldom have a pair of alcoholics looked as glamorous as they do in Craig Lucas and Adam Guettel’s bruised romance of a Broadway musical, “Days of Wine and Roses,” starring Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James as midcentury-modern Manhattan lovers free-falling all the way to hell, drinks in hand. And yet we can sense the allure: how alcohol might become the one true thing that matters, smoldering wreckage be damned. Adapted from JP Miller’s recovery-evangelizing 1958 teleplay and 1962 film of the same name, this “Days of Wine and Roses” is like a jazz opera melded seamlessly with a play. Deeper, wiser and warmer than it was in its premiere at Off Broadway’s Atlantic Theater Company last year, it is no longer so wary of melodrama that it’s afraid of feeling, too. Gone is the emotional aridity that kept the story at a strange remove.

It is harder to warm the core by warming the hands and feet.”Be careful that you don’t burn yourself, Benjamin said.
