Friends of Dave #279: why the 90s rocked
What a week!
Had one of those weeks, Friends -- should have known it was going to go that way when my Wordle streak came to an end after 90 consecutive winners (that damn "FOYER" got me).....
As a result, I am taking a break from the preamble this issue to lick my wounds a bit and recharge.... But I have a fun travel story I am working on for a future intro......good things come to those who wait.
Back at it next week in full force. Promise.
In the meantime, check out the stories below. Have a great weekend.
XOXO
Dave
