I was really sick this week and had to bail on a bunch of guests I had scheduled to interview. I'm feeling better. I had my daughter Abigail come on this week and help me put something together for you guys. I'll be back to the regular show format next week. Thanks guys!

A whole year of SAD DAD! To mark the occasion, I have one of my earliest, and perhaps biggest fan on as a guest: My Mom! We talk all kinds of dads. Her dad, my dad, my dad's dad. It's chalk full o' dad. We also discuss what it was like being a female small business owner in the 70's and much more! Thanks so much to all of my listeners and past guests.
