Though this is labeled as TTT, we’re only doing five because that’s all I wanted to come up with and didn’t feel like trying to pull more out for no reason. And ICYMI, I’m headed to Portugal in–holy shit–three days! My flight leaves Friday evening, and I’ll be abroad for sixteen days. Since this is…
