*DEBUTS

Our office is going dark, which in this case means it will actually be locked and empty until 2019. It's always dark, of course, in that it's populated by us. But as we plunge into our eggnog-filled kiddie pools and holly-stuffed bongs, we salute you, dear readers, without whom we would surely lose our phoney-baloney jobs. Happy holidays, Happy New Year, and we'll catch you on the flip side.
