Dorothy you’re not in the 90’s anymore… (Pilots)
So it is November 13th today, and conventional wisdom has it that there is maybe a week or so of legit “busy time” left before we ALL mentally just depart for a flippin’ 5-week stretch. NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND. Dorothy ain’t in Kansas… and it isn’t the 90’s. People, do not be like everyone […]
