Life goes on in Lanford

Jennifer met Jessa at Harrison Elementary when she was her music teacher. They made a special connection and so in the spring of 2014, they became Kinship Partners. These two like going to movies, spending time at Jennifer’s house just “hanging out” and spending a lot of time playing board games. There is a lot of laughter when they are together and they genuinely enjoy each other’s company.

Jennifer says “Jessa is incredibly good natured and has the most delightful giggle! It’s been a perfect match!”

For more information about Kinship Partners, please call (218)-829-4606 or visit our website at www.kinshippartners.org is set to tackle hard-hitting subjects as the Conners work through their grief after the death of Roseanne from an accidental opioid overdose. The debut addressed not only the subject of opioid addiction and abuse in America but also the desperate lengths underinsured, financially strapped people may go to as they try to compensate for their lack of coverage. Roseanne, as it was discovered in the premiere, was part of a neighborhood network of people who would trade and share medicine. After the show’s debut, Barr was critical of how her character was killed off, saying the opioid overdose “lent an unnecessary grim and morbid dimension to an otherwise happy family show,” in an official statement on Facebook with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach.

During its 10-episode first season, “The Conners” is expected to continue the conversation about a variety of issues facing workingclass Americans. Along with typical family dilemmas such as financial strain and co-parenting tensions, the show will look at gender issues through the eyes of Dan’s gender non-conforming grandson, Mark.

The future success of the series rests very much on the shoulders of the cast, particularly the very capable shoulders of Goodman. He won a Best Actor Golden Globe for his work as Dan during the original series run and went on to enjoy a successful film career, often collaborating with acclaimed filmmakers the Coen Brothers. His credits include “O Brother, Where Art Thou” (2000), “Monsters, Inc.” (2001) and “10 Cloverfield Lane” (2016).

Recurring characters from the original series will also appear in the show’s debut season, including stage legend Estelle Parsons (“Bonnie & Clyde,” 1967) as Roseanne and Jackie’s mother, Beverly. Natalie West (“The Poker House,” 2008) reprises her role as Roseanne’s friend Crystal and James Pickens Jr. (“Grey’s Anatomy”) is expected to appear as family friend Chuck Mitchell.

As the Conners and their friends forge ahead through their grief, life will go on in Lanford, and the family will once again tackle challenges with love and laughter. Check in with Dan and his brood in a new episode of “The Conners,” airing Tuesday, Nov. 13, on ABC.

Today, President Trump met with Kanye West at the White House. Incredible. If you told me 10 years ago that Trump and Kanye would be meeting at the White House, I would’ve said, “Oh my God — Kanye becomes president?!”

That’s right, Trump met with Kanye West at the White House. And while they spoke, both Trump and Kanye’s assistants looked at each other and said, “Man, I thought MY boss was nuts.”

Facebook will now let you launch group chats with 250 people at once. The feature even has a new name: Hell.

We are on the road this week, coming to you from the Howard Gilman Opera House at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. I’m glad to be back. I had to come back. I still had $8 left on my Metrocard.

You know, there’s a perception that New Yorkers are rude, and that really isn’t true. There’s just not a lot of phony chitchat that goes on in other places.

We are here for a week — until Friday night. This is a limited engagement. Just like Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande.

Late Night With Seth Meyers (repeat)

According to a former Yale classmate, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh once set off a bar fight in college after confusing another patron for the lead singer of the band UB40. And if you have any idea who that is, you also be 40.

The White House announced today that President Trump will donate his second quarter salary to the Small Business Administration. And Trump knows a thing or two about how to run a small business. “Step one: start by inheriting a large business.”

Weekend Update With Colin Jost and Michael Che (repeat)

You know, if you have calendars from 1982, it does not prove you’re innocent. It proves you’re a hoarder. You know when most people throw out their calendars from 1982? 1983.

Speaking of drinking games, if you took a shot for every time Kavanaugh lied about his yearbook, you’d be as drunk as Brett Kavanaugh was in the summer of ‘82.

Kavanaugh could be the deciding vote on issues concerning the very people he makes feel unsafe. It’d be like letting the Coyote decide on Road Runner’s rights.
