We’re deep into summer now, and one day away from a bad luck Friday, so enjoy your Thursday before hunkering down and avoiding mirrors, black cats and cracks in the sidewalk.
May we suggest celebrating today's brief respite from rising temperatures with some theater, some music and a little free outdoor cinema?
