0:00.0	Thank you for listening to this edition of the Call of the Day.
0:04.0	Be sure to listen to my program Monday through Friday now heard on Sirius XM Triumph 2011.
0:10.0	Sora, welcome to the program.
0:12.0	Thank you.

1:17.0	And why does he not want to see them?
1:21.0	Because my brother-in-law doesn't show enough interest in him or any of us really.
1:31.0	He's holding a bit of a grudge, I guess, against something my brother-in-law had said to him when he was invited to go on a fishing trip.
1:40.0	Hey, what did he say?
1:42.0	Why would I do that?
1:45.0	My husband invited my brother-in-law to come along on a day fishing trip and that's what the response was.
