(Yogi Berra)   Season 7 Debrief 7 minutes Looking back at Season 7, I'm amazed (and slightly relieved) how each carefully spaced episode became a hidden gem\u2014proving quality really does beat quantity.

With some helpful (and slightly intimidating) AI analysis, I'll honestly assess where we succeeded, stumbled, or soared\u2014spoiler alert: the AI was more generous than I would've been.   Manuel the AI Assistant 6.5 minutes Another quick breather to recover from my yearly dose of humility.
