The 5th episode of AUDIO FLARE GUN is up!  Many thanks to the recording artists who sent their work, or made it available in the public domain.  It feels great to flip the switch that turns on the LIVE ON AIR neon sign (thanks Mom!) and make all of this happen.  Click here to listen to the show that feels “earth-y” and “space-y.”

We love the sun here in the Midwest– at least we love it now because it’s a welcome change.  The daytime highs just got above freezing two weeks ago.  We’ll love the sun until we start complaining about it again like we do every year.  Eventually someone will say something when it’s 10 degrees warmer than they think it should be.  Later in August we will all step outside and our bodies will feel like unwashed waffle irons soaking in a steam bath.  And we’ll smell like them too.  I’ve never understood complaints about the weather.  We’ll welcome the cloudy days and cooler temps in September– but right now we love the sun.

Your suit could tear, you could get a concussion, you could dislocate your shoulder, you could hurt someone else if you land wrong… BE CAREFUL!!!  These are the voices in my head.  Obsessing about potential dangers, injuries, and humiliations can suck all the fun out of life.  It’s the first day of March & soon the weather will be warm enough to splash next to a nun at the pool.  I pray for the courage and spontaneity to do just that.  Amen.
