It’s a holiday weekend, and a good time for a trip in the time bubble! Next week, we start looking at the 5YL run, again! First, though, let’s take a look at the first time we did that, nearly ten years ago. Next week, you’ll see how our views have perhaps changed, evolved, or remained the same! For now, hear what we thought of the first three issues of the run, way back then!
