It just feels like we're completing the family." Discussing how supportive his partner is, the actor added: "Steph is so supportive, even when it means long hours or being away. We work it out together and are more selective about what makes sense to pursue, but she holds the fort incredibly well." "Any parent would feel that guilt. You miss moments. But thanks to camera phones and videos, you still get to see a lot. When I'm home, it's about being truly present – work can wait until tomorrow. Family is always the priority."

This dark corporate satire will distract you from your own work woes
FICTION Stinkbug Sinead Stubbins Affirm Press, $34.99 Can wellness culture mix with the workplace? Don't the two produce a weird water and oil liquid that can't quite combine, no matter how cutting-edge the innovations? In her debut novel, Stinkbug, Sinéad Stubbins wittily highlights the many pitfalls of current trends, and in the process holds up a cracked mirror of horror as we recognise how corporate culture is invading individual privacy. Edith is our anti-heroine. Swedish overlords are acquiring the marketing company where Edith – the worst kind of control freak who lives in habitual fear of the outstretched hands of her subordinates, her equals, and her superiors – has worked at for decades. All employees with jobs on the line are sent to a three-day luxury 'work retreat' in the Australian bush where a sip of a mind-altering elixir will replace toxic negativity with toxic positivity. So much oil, so much water. The approach of the team leaders escalates from a familiar wellness doctrine to group exercises in consensual slapping that get way out of hand and are madly funny. Edith's life is a shamble in every other respect, so she can't cope with her job being on the line as well. Then there's the fact that the retreat threatens to lay bare the very worst aspects of Edith. The crowning jewel of her self-destruction comes with the looming exposure of the secret that she had her (popular) former partner fired from the company. Poor Edith is something of a monster of bad faith but her paranoia and sneakiness are intimately familiar; they're cartoon exaggerations of us all. All that deception, all those tangled webs. Stinkbug tickles the reader but then it starts to pinch; to squeeze and to claw at your fears. What begins as workplace farce mutates into a corporate horror show as everyone's salaries are revealed and suddenly, chillingly, 'Edith's colleagues [move] towards her … speaking in low voices, coming closer, gnashing their teeth and snarling things that she couldn't catch.'

Edith the cat at All Creatures Great and Small needs a home
There is a lovely cat named Edith at All Creatures Great and Small who is looking for a new family. If you're searching for a companion who can add a bit of excitement to your life, Edith might be the perfect fit for you. This 10-year-old Domestic Short Hair is ready to find her forever home, where she can be the only pet. Edith arrived at the sanctuary with her son, Stevie, but unfortunately, they had to be separated due to conflicts. Edith exhibited bullying behaviour towards Stevie, which led to some injuries that required treatment. Since their separation, both have improved significantly. Edith does not get along well with other cats and attempts to assert her dominance when she sees them. Therefore, she would thrive in a home where she is the only pet. While Edith has no experience with dogs and is fearful of them, she may coexist with teenagers and potentially young children, provided they respect her personal space. She is quite the foodie and might sneak food if children have any! Edith has a grade 3 heart murmur, but no medication is necessary at this time. Regular veterinary check-ups will be required to monitor her condition. Unlike many cats, Edith cannot live as an indoor cat; she had access to a cat flap in her previous home, allowing her to go outside at her convenience. Edith is a spirited girl who enjoys her independence and will go to great lengths for a tasty treat. If you're interested in adopting Edith, please consider giving her the loving home she deserves. For more information, contact All Creatures Great and Small.

Boston's best lobster roll is popping up in the West Village next week
It is, gloriously, lobster roll season yet again and if it's sweet lobster meat stuffed inside buttered bread with all of the accoutrements that you're after, we've got the summertime sandwich collab for you. As part of its ongoing Summer Sandwich Series, Edith's Sandwich Counter—the Williamsburg and West Village favorite for scratch-made sandwiches, bountiful bagels, serious slushies and more—is bringing one of New England's best lobster sandwiches to New York next week. Beginning on Wednesday, June 18, head to the counter's Charles Street and Lorimer Street locations to snag a Lobster Club (made with fresh lobster meat, Nueske's bacon, sliced avocado, iceberg lettuce, chopped chives and preserved lemon aioli on challah bread) from Saltie Girl, the beloved Boston-based restaurant and seafood bar renowned for their lobster rolls— Boston Magazine called theirs the best in all of Beantown—and other coastal delicacies. To wash down that stacked sammie, the Saltie Girl team will also be offering a refreshing AF-sounding Frozen Root Beer Float Slushie. Both the club sandwich and the frosty bev—"a perfect high-low pairing that screams summer," says organizers—will be available at both Edith's outposts while supplies last on Wednesday. The Saltie Girl pop-up is just the latest in Edith's wider sandwich series for the warm-weather season: the lunch counter previously partnered with popular Philly sandwich shop Middle Child in April and Raoul's sibling luncheonette Revelie for May. In July, Chicago's beloved Wiener Circle will take a spin at Edith's, with the seasonal series wrapping up in August with a special sandwich creation from New York's own noodle guru Ivan Ramen.
