Hey #Sudbury friends, if you’re looking for a fun activity next week, how about going to see “The Temple of Vesta” at Lo-Ellen Park SS next Wed, Thurs, or Friday at 6pm, for $5? It’s a one-act play written and directed by my 16-yr-old son (you may know him as E2) and it’s good!

One of the most valuable parts of this episode, I think, is our conversations about how the show has changed over two seasons as we learned more. We didn't shout them out specifically in the episode, but I want to shout out many of our external influences in the following tweets:

'When it comes to sexuality, the Romans were both much less conservative and much more conservative than we think,' Dr Aven McMaster

With the Olympics about to start, here’s our video on the ancient & modern origins of the Games & some of their vocab, including the complicated history of the “amateur”. You’ll see that controversy has always been a part of the Olympics! #Olympics2021 youtu.be/im0C18vcyFE
