BLERG! I just realized that the clock on my laptop doesn't update when I'm in a different time zone like the clock on my phone does. So it's not really 11:58pm here in Cleveland which means I've missed almost the entire first hour of Therese. :sadface:

Thank goodness for the archives; I'll be able to listen to what I missed.

So are the Christmas tunes an indication that you're taking next Sunday off, Therese?
