In the Air Today…
I’ll be in the air today, leaving Denver and heading home to Manchester. In the meantime, those of you who are children of the 80′s and bad science fiction television will no doubt appreciate this nugget. As a kid, I was a die-hard fan of “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century” on NBC. I’ll even …
