Okay, pretend that I released this 96 hours earlier.

I've been held back by a technological snag or two; also just the "summer break" was long enough that I forgot I had already put together Episode 11. By the time I realized (remembered) this, Episode 12 was 99% complete, and I was in--literally--the eleventh hour before the absolute deadline I'd set for myself. Thus I've delivered two chapters out of order, having already given you the episode after this one more than two weeks ago. So ignore it if you're able.

And I'm not afraid to admit that the sudden *cough* death *cough-cough* of Charlie Kirk knocked me completely sideways. More than I would have anticipated. So that also contributed to the delay of this episode. But I'll catch up. It is very much what I do; I love my schedule patterns too much.

Enjoy the audio. I hope you are able to learn something, again.

Applause to the listeners!
