I’m still playing catch up after a week away on my honeymoon (Again, details to follow). So, here is #5, later than I had hopes, but what’s new…

I just came back from a week in the Yucatan Peninsula on Saturday; L and I finally had the mutually agreeable “off-time” to take our honeymoon. I’ll take some time soon and write about the adventures and what-not we had post pictures soon, but I just wanted to make note that A) due to this, there was no podcast last week, despite my intended plan to get one out EVERY week (But I did NO work while I was gone, so meh…) and B) This week’s podcast MIGHT be a day or two late, while I catch up with everything that needed my attention whilst I was away. But rest assured, I’m working hard to keep the steam behind my intentions and designs. How is everyone else doing? (PLEASE feel free to comment, cause I can see visitors in my log, but hardly anyone ever comments. Grumble.)

While it’s earlier than my planned Wednesday post dates for the Listening in Blue Shift Podcast it seemed appropriate that I got this up before Mardi Gras…

Oh, and fair warning, this is NOT a “feel-good” mix…
