Welcome to Midweek Madness, where we find out about the potential nor’easter, dread the days spend trudging through the two feet of snow, and daydream about spending a week in Los Angeles at Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s house.

Welcome to Midweek Madness, where we fly to London, put up a tent outside St. Mary’s Hospital, drape ourselves in the flag, and keep making signs that say things like “HERE COMES NUMBER 2!” and “KATE, YOU’RE DOING GREAT!” and “KEEP CALM AND PUSH ON!” until someone in the Royal Family buys us breakfast.
