Hello, and welcome to a little bit of an experiment.

It is going to be a non-live tip show for most of you.

That's how it typically goes, but for everyone else out there.

This is just a request show where you send in something you want me to read to Allie.

Allie categorizes it, she gives it to me, and then I read it.

I miss the live stuff, guys.

I really, really do.

And if you don't know what's going on with me, because you haven't been listening to the COVID updates,

because you're tired of both my insanity and COVID, or either or, well, I don't really blame you.

There's plenty of sources to go to for that kind of thing and only one me.

Just to sum it up, very briefly, I'm finding it very difficult interacting with others right now.

Others who know me or have expectations of me. I'm just, it's not going

very well for me. And the more distant I am from that kind of interaction on those pressures,

the better I seem to be doing these days. If you check the blog or Twitter or what have you,

you will go ahead and see that I'm

cooking, I'm exercising, I'm leaving the house. In fact, I'm leaving the house more than

any other time during the Grey-Eye Project. Isn't that sad? And life is going pretty

okay for me. But psychologically speaking, I'm doing what I have to do to survive, and I hope you are too.

I hear, if you're a fan of mine, one part of survival might be that you like it when I produce stuff with my nice voice and my personality to match.

So I have here a little cup of tea that I've made from carafe number one, as I call it.

I've got a two carafe system going these days. I am more proud of this than just about anything else. Allow me to give you a

quick little story at the start to tell you how proud I am of the two caraft system and what it is.
