2010, A Mixed Bag, Really
On this, the end of 2010, I find myself reflecting on the past year as so many of us do on New Year’s Eve.

Listeners know the show has a feedback section. Regular listeners know I haven’t gotten much of it. Not questions, comments or, frankly, much of anything (that is not to denigrate those people who have commented and you know who you are. I have really appreciated all the comments I’ve received). It has felt… odd… I suppose is the word, doing other things in that section of the show and still calling it the “Feedback Section”. […]
