Hey all!

It’s a day later than normal, but as it’s President’s day, I chose to use today to do a show, and have Valentine’s Day spent focused squarely on Nate, for obvious reasons.  Today’s show is a big one.  I have a lot to talk about, mull over, and share with you all.  Big stuff, small stuff, the details you’ve grown used to hearing about.  I hope you enjoy it!

Good Morning All! This show’s a bit different from the rest, thanks to Gavin’s great idea.  It’s a musical recap of 2009, and as you will note, it’s an hour long.  I hope you enjoy the music, and have a visit to the artist’s links that I’ve provided.  I look forward to another great year of music for 2010, and look forward to sharing it all with you over the weeks and months to come.  Just a reminder, there won’t be a podcast next Sunday, as Nate and I will be in Provincetown, but I’m sure I’ll have loads to talk about and share with you upon our return. Thanks!

Today’s show is kind of strange.  I mean, the topics are the usual: work, what I’ve been thinking, and what we’ve been up to, and what our plans are for the future.  But it’s still strange.  The common theme seems to be about becoming unfiltered in what I say, and expressing how I feel.  Have a listen, and let me know what you think.
