Howdy Brew Hoopers. After being listed as “Did Not Write — New Kid” for the first 10 or so weeks of the season, life has finally settled enough for me to bring back the occasionally read, Weekly Wednesday Wrap-up. Clearly third in the pecking order behind the people’s champ, Riley’s Monday Morning Media Round-up, and Van’s Friday featurette, the Weekly Progress Report, I hope you’ll welcome me back with open eyes, albeit belatedly.
One preface, in an effort to streamline this column a bit (and, candidly, due to a bit less time on my part), I’m going to excise the “Bud’s Best” feature highlighting my favorite opening set from the last week.
