Hi David - Thanks for letting me know. I will definitely give it a listen! Always interested in what you’re up to.
Things have been a little hectic. We’re in Florida earlier this year because our daughter just gave birth a couple of weeks ago to our third grandchild, Mayla Reese Figliozzi. She is a single mother, though the father of the baby and she are cooperating as parents. (It’s complicated.) In any event, she does need help and we are here like we should and want to be. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I do know that winter has arrived early and harsh up there. The people at the Macy’s parade look a little uncomfortable and those balloons are riding low in the wind. I’m going to be back in NY from the 5th to the 15th. I hope things get a bit more seasonable by then. Take care, John P.S.: Are you planning to do another Shindig next year at the Fest? > On Nov 22, 2018, at 10:51 AM, david goren via Internetradio > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > From: david goren <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 190 > Date: November 22, 2018 at 10:51:01 AM EST > To: Internet radio discussion <[email protected]> > > > Hi John: > > Though I’m not looking to make the Podding Along honor roll, I thought you > might find my latest documentary for the BBC WS of interest.
