TODAY and MORE
My hair is ballplayer lazy length, so I either need to accept the fashion mullet or get a cut. I’m choosing the latter, and as such will be out of the office for a couple hours today. Expect this, an edited down version of the 5000+ words of notes I took last night (sadly, no joke), NFL picks and maybe a few more quick htis. For everything else you’ll have to wait until at least Sunday, when I’ll be at the bank and will consider blogging live.
