sorry, friends.

i was out of town, precommitted, and otherwise flaking these last weeks. weeks add up to months, and we haven't quite gotten there yet, but i've done a disservice to you, my loyal listeners.

whatever of you may remain.

anyway, as ally mcbeal's richard used to say, "bygones," right? i'm back on the air today, so let's just enjoy ourselves and forget about the ugly mess these last few weeks have been. i love you, you know that?
