Thoughts From Your Host…

Thirty-five days ago when I introduced this series, I figured that we might only need to stem the tide with five or seven episodes. I sure hope y’all find my optimism endearing!

Ain’t no way we’re all getting back to multiplexes any time soon gang – and really that’s for the best. As much as I too miss little comforts like the crowd cheering an iconic moment, or that unhealthy snack that you simply must have, our personal health and the wellbeing of our community is far more important.

Heck, I just miss being able to turn off the world for two hours and sit in a dark room for two hour. How much would you give right now just to absolutely, positively unplug?

Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? You’d probably offer me five canisters of Lysol wipes, a six-pack of Purell, and forty eight rolls of three-ply, wouldn’t ya?

Alas, it is not to be…and again, that’s okay.

So here we are instead; looking backwards, doing virtually what we used to do physically, and keeping our spirits up. We have wine, we have music, we even take the time to talk some shit about people we love because you must enjoy the little things.

Five or seven dispatches of this podcast are a series are a certainty. I’d start laying bets over or under twelve…and y’know what? So be it.

We got this.
