We remember the cancan, play a popular board game, visit a group of islands situated to the southeast of Florida, and remember a Byzantine queen city.

Note: The game mentioned in the What clue is described as follows: This game shares some characteristics with Rummikub and Scrabble and comes with 108 wooden tiles. Each tile is painted with one of six shapes in one of six colors. In general, any tiles that are placed in a row must share one attribute (either color or shape), and they must be played in one line, although they do not need to touch other tiles being placed in that turn. Play continues until one person uses all of their available tiles and there are no more tiles to be drawn.

Today, we learn about an 18-century painting, think outside the bun, visit the South Atlantic and Bavaria, and check out music by Morgan Wallen and Latto.

More about the painting: The Blue Boy is a large painting about 48 inches wide and 70 inches tall. It was bought by American railroad magnate and art collector Henry E. Huntington in 1921 for his famous library. This painting is a historical study in costume, with the subject observed in fanciful knee–breeches and a slashed doublet with a lace collar. The tunic, breeches, and cloak are of a brilliant blue satin rendered in a spectrum of colors including ultramarine, smalt (which is made from ground cobalt glass), Prussian blue, and azurite. A white shirt is visible underneath. The blue is accented by silver braid, silver buttons, and garters. The shoes are accented with silver braid as well. The clothing is inspired by the work of 17th–century Flemish painter Anthony van Dyck.

We meet a 7-1 basketball center best remembered for anchoring the defense of the Seattle SuperSonics during their run to the 1978 NBA Finals. We remember

the mascot associated with the advertising jingle “the flavor of fruit wherever it grows.” We contemplate “Chomolungma,” and remember the NAACP’s founding, the birth of the Lincoln Wheat penny and the patent for the first fully synthetic plastic. Hang on; it's an interesting journey today.
