After a review of our Halloween adventures, I talk with Kevin about letting kids have lots of different experiences, in order to detect hidden talents and enjoyable hobbies.

Update again: Apparently my podcast server got hacked and is now in the process of being cleaned up. Please report anything unusual you might find on my site to me. Hopefully we will be up and running soon!

Update: The podcast is recorded and I just need to reconfigure my FTP client to let me upload it. It will be up ASAP!

Hi guys,

I promise a new episode is coming soon – just got slowed down by a sick Kevin and a Windows 7 upgrade. But both are improving, so you will get something soon! I intend to cover “Hidden Talents and Halloween”, so feel free to voicemail in your stories of either! 206-202-7309!
