We just wanted to let you know the next Shiloh episode will be delayed.  Rich just got back to Colorado after spending the week in Pennsylvania.  His dad had a massive heart attack last weekend, so Rich flew home to help out while he was in the hospital and then getting back home.  And with Rich gone, Tracy spent the week at her mom’s in Boulder.  Soooo, all of that’s to say nothing much has got done lately podcast-wise!  But never fear, once we get back up to speed with life and work, we’ll also get caught up with podcasting. Thanks for your patience and understanding!
