Just a quick note to apologize for skipping this week’s episode of Addicted to Race. Between the holiday season and the NYC transit strike, we just weren’t able to get together and record. But we’ll be back on Monday, January 9th with our regularly scheduled episode! Hope everyone is having a safe and happy holiday!
