January 27 - February 3, 2025

Hello again,

I am thrilled the Eagles won today. Did I ever tell you that the year they won the Super Bowl I was scheduled to interview a Real Housewife the next day? She sent me a text approximately two minutes after the win to cancel. Still not over it.

I have a great list for you this week.
