Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, hour two.

Hello, America, welcome.

It is Eric Erickson here.

The phone number is 8779773-745.

If you would like to be on the program, I'd be very happy to have you.

I want to go on and take a phone call here from

up to date with the show notes and the emails and like. If you text Eric to 33777, click the first

link and subscribe. But Alan, I do want to start this hour with you. Welcome to the show, sir. How are you?
