So I work downtown these days and I work late, long hours, which means if I miss the last bus home to Ditchmond, I’m either looking at a $40 cab fare or a few hours waiting for bus services to kick in again in the AM.

Between my overtime hours at The Sun in the lead-up to the Olympics, and Jeremy’s world travels, we’re more than aware that things are running a little behind at NFTN right now.
