Episode 64 – 2011 Wrap Up, Part 1

This episode is part 1 of a car cast where we cover our highlights of 2011.

Apologies for the audio quality as we’re testing a new set of microphones and the road noise was louder than we anticipated. It gets particularly loud around the 30 minute mark, but that only lasts for six or seven minutes. Listening through, we’ve come up with some ways to greatly improve the audio from the car.

Episode 63 – A New Blender

We find ourselves heading into a whole new blender and discuss it a bit.
Announcements

News

Main Topic

  • Our future plans – Another blend?!? Shut the front door!
    • Because of the economy and recent events, we are going to be moving in with the Rossi family after our house sells. It benefits both our families tremendously, beyond the financial aspect. We also have another roomie moving in, and with the full count at 6 adults, 2 small children, 3 dogs, 3 cats and one fish, we are finding ourselves in another new realm to adjust to. Far improved from the empty nest, and with ample room for our sons to visit whenever they like.

  • Chooch
    • Google Music
    • Tell Viv why she should ditch Android for an iPhone
