I caught my beloved kids from Philly, Marah, at Jammin' Java Wednesday night, and the Bielanko brothers, on one of their customarily hilarious between-song-banter tangents, went on and on, only half-jokingly, about their passion for "Shark Week."

Shark week? I wondered. Some kind of subcultural coastal community ritual I'm not aware of? A national holiday I've neglected to observe?

I've really been missing out, evidently.
