The holidays give me time for more reading. I was able to finish reading Smart, Wrong, and Lucky by Jonathan Mayo over the weekend. My review of that book will be running on Dugout Dirt within the next week. I’m currently reading The History of Sketch Comedy by Keegan-Michael Key and Elle Key. I’ll have more on this in a moment.
