Episode Delay

Hi all,

This week's episode is nearly done, but overnight I was felled by one of those viruses that come through unexpectedly after you have little kids running around. I'm in bed and not able to do much of anything. 

Details on the end of the fundraiser to come. There are a few things to button up, then I'll place the order early next week and t-shirts etc will start shipping. Thanks so much for your support. 

K I'm going back to bed now. 

[UPDATE: Think I will be able to finally get it done Wed morning. This is the pits]
