Episode 243 struck by lightning
They say that lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place. Well, it does.
Today’s show #243 should have been up by now, but it’s not. In fact, it won’t be until tomorrow.
The recording gremlins had a field day today, brilliantly assisted by me through not paying attention to which button I’m clicking on during recording of the show over Skype with guest co-host Sallie Goetsch.
End result - no recording at my end. Luckily, we have Sallie’s capture.
Keen listeners might note a disturbing similarity to the result that happened the last time Sallie and I recorded FIR together.
Well, yes, although it’s different lightning.
Anyway, my apologies for the delay; the show will be up within 24 hours.
