The Long WeekendFriends, thank you for the many emails and texts I received after last week's intro. Always happy to entertain you with my little rants and odd observations. In honor of Labor Day weekend, I'm taking a bit of a break this week from the preamble, so if you are only here for the intros, I highly recommend you use the long weekend to go back and check it out.But first...one last rant that did not make it last week: Now that August is over, can we talk about the ridiculousness that was the latest viral social media sensation this year: the Milk Crate Challenge?Haven't heard about it? Don't have a teenager on TikTok? Perhaps google "Milk Crate Challenge Fails" or just watch a short video of them >>HERE<< And anyone like me wonder where they got all of the milk crates in the first place? I mean, someone had to ask another human a question like "can you tell me where I can get at least 20 milk crates....and do you have at least one red one?"How does one answer a question like that with a straight face? I'll leave you with that to think about this weekend along with some articles to check out below. Good reads if you have the time.Enjoy the long weekend everyone. Pumpkin spice season is officially upon us.XOXODave
