iSm - thanks for the feedback. Basic scriptification is certainly in order for the "how to contact me" stuff. I mean, if I'm going to basically say the same sh!t every week, I should have it down.

The one nice thing about doing it "live" is that I give myself up to the last moment to pick the song. I think I had something like a half-dozen versions of Little April Showers sitting on my computer before I went with that one.

As far as the restoration is concerned, your friends should not feel bad. I remember the restored laserdisc version, which had pristine backgrounds which made them look even more static, while the characters seemed less integrated into the picture. This version is so much more watchable. It's worth an hour+ of your time.
