The Week That Was
We're excited about Fall Back and wishing everyone a safe Happy Halloween! But is there a need to Trick or Treat this year? Most of us have been anxiously eating candy and wearing a mask for months! 😷 Jon Stewart is heading back to TV .

While we in the CC watch AMC's Mad Men and HBO's Boardwalk Empire waiting for the next episode does get tedious.
