ICYMI this week ...
A roundup of the news that was mentioned on the Daily News podcast
Hello!
With July flying by, it seems to me to be a good time to mention that I’m going to be off for most of August. In fact, it will likely be all of August. I have three trips planned in four weeks and I don’t think I’ll be able to record this (or Sandy and Nora but we will see!) So — prepare yourselves! It won’t be too long. But I need a vacation. Delivering this podcast is one thing when I have a normal schedule. A summer schedule with kids home has been an altogether different experience. But we aren’t there yet! There’s still lots of July to be had.
Here are the stories that I mentioned on the podcast this past week. To hear any of this past week’s episodes, click here: https://sandyandnora.com/daily-news/
