Alas, dear readers, I’ve already fallen behind in writing my “Brendan’s Defining Days of the Decade” series. I know you’re shocked. 🙂 So, my write-up of entry #10 on the list will be delayed until (hopefully) sometime tomorrow. It’s possible that #9 and #8 will consequently be pushed back by a day as well.
