"Happy Feet" (October 14, 2005)

(Week 14)

This was a four-hour broadcast that almost wasn't. Owing to car troubles--my wife's Toyota wouldn't start and so I had to borrow lawn mower gas to propel my Ford Fiasco (aka The Clown Car)--I got to the station several minutes late. Add to that elevated blood sugar and general tiredness, and it might have been much, much worse. Actually, it turned out pretty good. My apologies to those who tuned in at 6 PM expecting to hear me and got only dead air. The whole show is now posted on Live 365 for those who missed it:
