  1. Hi guys,
    Thanks for the mention in the show notes. But one question: did I forget to leave a comment, or did you forget to include it? ;-)

  2. We just flat-out missed it, Scott. But we’ll most definitely include it on 281!

  3. Gentlemen,

    I was happy to hear you reference my earlier comment on the blurring of the line between business and personal time.  I really didn’t mean to imply that it’s WORK listening to FIR, but you seemed to get my meaning.  (If my boss asks me, it’s definitely work.) In fact, your one hour podcasts fit perfectly with my bicycling program.

    On the topic of proper grammar in writing, especially blogging, I write the same way I talk.  While it does drive me crazy when someone doesn’t take the time to use spell check, I’m not a stickler for the rules of so-called proper English. 

    If I’m writing a legal document, or a formal letter, I’m very capable of putting out something that would make my high school English teacher proud. But, I don’t find reading that kind of thing to be very enjoyable, and I don’t think my readers do, either.

    Your programs are great.  Keep up the good work.  Shel, have a safe trip back to the states.

    Mike Buckley
