Programming Note: We’ll be taking the next three weeks off due to a little thing called “life” getting in the way of our recording schedule. Mostly, it’s Dennis who is the one to blame for this. Why? He’s moving into a new place! Though this is an exciting time, as anybody who has moved into a new residence can attest to, it’s a time-consuming and an all-encompassing task. Having said that, let us reassure you that we will be back with a new episode for you on Friday, October 7th.
