I’ve had both computers I could use for editing and producing episodes die on me. I’m doing my taxes tonight and if all goes according to plan I should have a tax return in the near future which is partially ear marked to replace the dead PC’s. Thanks for your patience and again sorry.

More Information

I can’t find a website for Mark, but if you wish to contact him just email me and i’ll pass it on.

Mike’s band Sunspot can be found at Sunspot Music. You can buy all their music from there and I think they are great. You can find their music videos on YouTube as well. Check them out, it is well worth it. For your enjoyment I include the video of my favourite Sunspot song Scott Bakula.

Questions

  1. Is it the right thing to do ?
  2. Would you want to live like this ?
  3. Is it kind or cruel to let his father linger like this ?

However, definitely a show next week, maybe more than one if I can get my act together.

Also, on an unrelated note, what do people think of the city of Pittsburgh ? My wife floated the idea of moving there for work.

Questions

  1. Do we have the sorts of duties the soldier feels in the story ?
  2. Are they binding or can they opted out of ?
  3. Would Just War Theory apply to the reasons for attempting his rescue ?
  4. Or perhaps Real Politik is closer to what is going on ?
