Well, it's been a while! I try to explain my absence from podcasting without actually saying anything, and then think out loud about how mightily I have struggled with this completely voluntary, arguably unnecessary project, weigh the pros and cons of trying to persevere at something so superfluous, and decide what life lessons there are in this that I can one day share with my kid. Thanks for returning to the show, and you're welcome for my returning to the show!
