Episode 62: Back from Portland

No, we haven't moved out to Portland, we were just visiting. On this episode, we just wanted to jump on and get something out there for the listeners to assure everyone that our hiatus was not permanent. This episode is not well put together by any means, as we were working without an outline, but hopefully it scratches the itch for now until we can put more energy and effort in to a full normal episode. Appreciate all of you!
