Full Moon? I believe it.

Last night was a full moon...I happened to see it, but I would have guessed it even if the sky had been completely obscured by clouds.

I have this new show on Talkshoe (http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/43512), and I'm having the best time interviewing entrepreneurs and other gutsy folks who refuse to give in to pessimism even in the face of unrelenting bad news on the economy by the "main stream media." Most of those to whom I speak began their businesses in economic circumstances similar to those we're experiencing today.

I love to talk to these interesting, energizing, hardworking and positive people....so what's the problem? Well, last night everything went wrong. My studio computer refused to talk to the Talkshoe website...meaning I couldn't talk to the website.

So I called into my own show on the telephone...but, after the show, the tape reveals a problem with my audio (unheard on my end of the conversation) I can only blame on gremlins or the phone company.

Then, the chair in which I'm sitting falls apart in the middle of a guest's most important point...all you hear is a loud crash and muffled (remember, the sound sucked) profanity followed by my own laughter (I laugh at myself a lot).

I thought that was it, but when I awakened this morning, the grease I noted on my thumb last night from trying to repair the chair with one hand, while still talking to my guest and holding the phone in the other, well, that grease turned out to be a very painful bruise that makes my thumb look like I just cast a vote in an Iraqi election.

Say what you will, I blame the moon.
