Hello again,
Hope you are looking forward to a great week. This weekend Brian Moylan came to visit, and we had a great dinner at The Quiet Woman. I watched the Christopher Reeve documentary, and pretty much sobbed. Hoping to do an episode about it this week. I have a great Patreon this week answering all your questions, part two out later.
