0:00.0 | Hello, this is Bob. Now, by the time you hear this, I will have had throat surgery, |
0:07.2 | which as I record this is scheduled for the very end of June. So I'm not going to be recording |
0:12.4 | any new podcast for the next week or two. However, so vast and deep are our archives that I have any number of golden oldies to choose from in filling this void. |
