Jeff called me today and noted that his wife has broken one of her legs today, and sprained the other. For lack of a more sophisticated way to put it, they’ve had a hell of a day. So we made the executive decision to put our show off so we can have a better focus.
Feel free to peruse the archives and enjoy a past show and we will be back in the saddle next Friday.
