Hey Larry and Testifies. Just a heads up, I will be getting a colonoscopy done for my GI problem today and my appointment is at 3 EST so I won't be able to tune in to the show unless I manage to tune in later somehow. Otherwise I will need to catch up on the archives. Sorry I was too afraid to mention this sooner.
