Hello! Winter is here, as I write this there are several inches of snow, sleet and ice outside (I so do not want to go shovel the driveway.) This has been a very weird week for me, Iโve had several weird dreams and my brain has been oddly firing on several cylinders.
A very dense roundup for you this week, so dive in!

David Letterman finally has a YouTube channel. I don’t know about you, but I love when talk show hosts keep their archives on YouTube.
