Have a wonderful weekend! We’re looking forward to watching Hudson pitch some innings tonight at his game, going on a local hike (thinking we might head toward the coast), and having dinner with friends. I’ll also be looking for a new TV show to watch, as we’ve caught up on all of our favorites. Anything fresh to recommend?
