An Aquatic Adventure- July 30th

Turns out it's not as fun to come up with an adventure without my cohost, but I will carry on anyway.  Due to the ridiculous heat/humidity making my house essentially unlivable, I've been rather aquatic lately.  It's the only way.  Tune in from 5-7 pm central this Friday to join me on an aquatic adventure.  The real question is, can I focus enough to run the equipment alone?  Only time will tell.
