Completely Conspicuous Episode 46: The Year in Rear View

Geez, you'd think with 10 days off from work, I'd have plenty of time to do a podcast or two. But between doing work that I brought home, finishing Christmas shopping, playing with my kids, entertaining guests, and watching televised sports, "studio" time (aka quiet time at the computer) has been scarce. But I had the afternoon free today while Deb took the girls to see the movie Enchanted, so I made the most of it. So here it is for your downloading pleasure (right click and "save as").

And as I wait for yet another snowstorm to hit, here are the show notes...

Completely Conspicuous Episode 43: Brother, Can You Spare a Buck?

Another long weekend came and went. I'm still cranking away at my NaNoWriMo book; I'm up to 17,000+ words. Found time to run a 10-mile race in Andover Sunday morning and set a PR with a time of 1:16; it was 29 degrees out and I was running in shorts, so I figured that made me run faster. Took the girls bowling today.

And here's the latest episode of tha CC. Download it directly here (right click and "save as").
