You're listening to the ancient tradition. A Wonk Media production. Music provided by Joseph McDade. Here's your host, Dr. Jack Logan. Welcome to the ancient tradition. I'm your host,

Jack Logan. It's great to have you listening in today. It's another wonderful, beautiful day

But you'll see as you do that,
