Once again, time has gotten away from us. We're so busy with traveling, projects and so forth that we're finding it hard to get the episodes out.

Lots of great stuff in this episode, though. Please enjoy.

Hello, LHS listeners! In this episode we have a very special treat in store for you all. We have a personal talk with Dr. Christian Jacobs, though I suspect he'd be upset that we labeled him doctor.

W...
