It’s been a crazy week. The Buffalo Bills won their 4th in a row, both of us won our fantasy football games, the weather has gone from the 70s to 50s, the debates are finally over, and we still haven’t packed a single item for our trip to Mexico. Basically, we’ve done a lot of reading to help us procrastinate this week…

This week Friday Minutes contains highlights from candy corn to fall activities, and even a little bit of Trump. Thanks for all the great articles, they’ve helped us get through the week. Also, congratulations to Washington, DC restaurants who were recognized in the recent Michelin Guide (Washingtonian)
