It had to happen eventually.  My kids have discovered the world of television outside of Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon.  Luckily, if they think a new show they want to watch is questionable, they will ask me about it before they watch it. This week they asked me about Doctor Who.  They don't know that I've been watching it for years; they think they discovered something new.

My question to you is, what do you think about the show for kids?  Do any of you watch it with your kids? Also, would you listen to a podcast episode about Doctor Who if I did it with my kids?  Give me some feedback, guys and dolls; I'm trying to come up with fresh ideas for 2007.

As you can see by my Meez, I am in holiday shopping mode.  My thoughts have been on the podcast every day, though, and I should be ready to play with you guys shortly -- at least, if anyone is still around after my hiatus.  Enjoy the holidays and watch the feed!

It seems a little weird to type the phrase "winter break" as I am dealing with 75-degree weather in the middle of November, but it is supposed to be winter.  The nasty head cold that I am suffering through reminds me of that.

Anyway, I am going to take a break from podcasting until the first of the year.  Please don't unsubscribe! There is a long-distance chat that I am lining up with a friend, so you may see a random episode or two show up in the feed before January.  I just wanted to let you know not to expect anything on a regular schedule for the next couple months.

Thank you all for listening to my solo shows in Karen's absence.  Hopefully, January will see both of us back on the air and better than ever.  See you in 2007!

Wow! I just got my first pledge towards the "Do Your Do, Red Green or Blue" charity drive. Tee Morris has stepped up to help the kids at the Children's Hospital. You too, can help by going to www.stonebrew.com and make this a great year for the YMCA, and Boys and Girls Club too.

I feel kind of strange knowing that in just one short week, I will be sporting a new hair color. Just to let you know, I will only be sending the pics of me in my Blue/Red Do to those who feel charitable and can help...heh heh. So if you have a $5.00 bill lying around, or could go without that soy latte (hold the whipped cream) from Starbucks, PLEASE help me reach my goal.

     The Hyanide is the bike Luke needed on Planet Hoth. A fleet of these bad ass bikes and forget the Imperial Walkers. They would  have run rings around them; mount a blast rifle on the front and we would have Imperial Stumpers.
     All the stormtroopers could've done was cry in their white plastic salad bowl helmets. The Hyanide (name taken from it's resemblance to a hyena) is a true motorcycle, unlike other "concept" vehicles, in that it employs counter-steering, (turn left to go right, right to go left).
     However, there is pedal that is pushed at the same time to turn the rear wheel at the same time to maintain tension on the track tread. Imagine a Mobius strip that propels you forward at 130 mph on the snow...

Pssst!  Hey, cats and kitties, this is Dani in NC.  Come closer; I want to let you in on a little secret.  Boss Lady snags all the voicemails from the VM line and keeps them for herself.  I don't hear them until the episode is released.   If you want MY opinion on something, try sending an email to dani@karenfromkalifornia.com.  You can also record an mp3 and send it to the same address.  It can be on any subject, not just SF.  Just don't tell Karen; she likes to think she is running things around here!

Yes, that's right. We have our own VoiceMail number thanks to Computer King (you're a sweetie) and here it is: 206-222-BUNK that's 206-222-2865. Please call and leave us your feedback, comments, rants, or just a simple shoutout.

I'd like to take a moment to point out the incredible logo that was created by the one, the only, Tee Morris. (that's www.teemorris.com) Let us know if you think it is as cool as we do. With guys like these around, our bunks will always be full.

Show #2 coming up soon, so get your voicemail in and...well, you know where I'll be.
