Episode 26 finds that Mickey and Brian took two weeks off. The good news is no one was sick. The bad news it was just because work and life ran us over. No vacation for either of us!

  • Kids start school "from home" last Wednesday
• Mickey

  • The article does a decent job of talking about the patterns, and I think we should talk about each pattern.
