The sound file says it all.

UPDATE: Sorry for the repost! I accidentally uploaded the mp3 where the picture was supposed to be.  I'm a little rusty.

I'm out of hibernation! This is a short show for my first time out, just to warm myself up.

Just letting you know that I am still here.

It had to happen eventually.  My kids have discovered the world of television outside of Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon.  Luckily, if they think a new show they want to watch is questionable, they will ask me about it before they watch it. This week they asked me about Doctor Who.  They don't know that I've been watching it for years; they think they discovered something new.

My question to you is, what do you think about the show for kids?  Do any of you watch it with your kids? Also, would you listen to a podcast episode about Doctor Who if I did it with my kids?  Give me some feedback, guys and dolls; I'm trying to come up with fresh ideas for 2007.

As you can see by my Meez, I am in holiday shopping mode.  My thoughts have been on the podcast every day, though, and I should be ready to play with you guys shortly -- at least, if anyone is still around after my hiatus.  Enjoy the holidays and watch the feed!

It seems a little weird to type the phrase "winter break" as I am dealing with 75-degree weather in the middle of November, but it is supposed to be winter.  The nasty head cold that I am suffering through reminds me of that.

Anyway, I am going to take a break from podcasting until the first of the year.  Please don't unsubscribe! There is a long-distance chat that I am lining up with a friend, so you may see a random episode or two show up in the feed before January.  I just wanted to let you know not to expect anything on a regular schedule for the next couple months.

Thank you all for listening to my solo shows in Karen's absence.  Hopefully, January will see both of us back on the air and better than ever.  See you in 2007!

Somebody who obviously thinks I have a lot of free time on my hands sent me a link to this word-association game called Funny Farm.  I've been working on it for three days and have roped several of my co-workers into helping me.  We are reaching the limit of our knowledge.  Yes, I know that I could just merge with someone else's game and get an instant solution, but where is the fun in that?  I like little hints, not big spoilers.  So get to work, my loyal fans, and find me a five-letter word that connects Hell's Angels and Scientology!

If you are one of the cool kids, then you already have Tag in the Seam on your list of netcasts.   However, if  Leann's brilliance has escaped your notice, then you must check out episode 11 of her show to hear a hilarious Halloween episode. I feel sure that her talents are being wasted on her day job :-).

I'm makin' with the quick and dirty show notes again, guys and gals, so I can get back to making Halloween costumes.  Enjoy!
