Podcast from FAR Manor (#3) - news, iPhone speculation, early holiday memories

I battled an almost-flu kind of cold, chicken house duty, light-hanging duty, and a house full of indifferent people, to get this podcast put together. I hope you think it was worth it!

  4. Hey guys!

    Yup, O, that was me singing. A couple of lines came to me last year; I filled it in over the last few weeks & snitched a MIDI file off the web. Then I mixed the song last weekend, before the cold caught up to me.

    Oh, and I was feeling the cold even if I wasn't sounding it. Lots of water and cough drops saved the day. Amazingly enough, I started feeling better around 4 p.m. today, and shucked the sweater a bit over an hour ago.

    The shout-outs are thanking you guys for the encouragement — I just hope it nets you a few more readers! I about have the rhythm established now... I think I can handle doing this once a month. It figures that I've got ideas lined up for February & March, but still thinking about January... guess I'll trust the Muse to send inspiration.

    FM: good to hear from you; I haven't seen you around for a few days & was staring to worry. Hope you're just getting some holiday slacking done & letting the rest of the family have all the "fun."

Comments are welcome, and they don't have to be complimentary. I delete spam on sight, but that's pretty much it for moderation. Long off-topic rants or unconstructive flamage are also candidates for deletion but I haven’t seen any of that so far.

I have comment moderation on for posts over a week old, but that’s so I’ll see them.
