Self Help Radio 011122: Logs

Hooray! An entire show about logs! Everyone said it couldn't be done! That's not true! No one really cares! But my brain told me I couldn't do it! Suck it, brain! Stop telling me what I can't do & get started on ruining the end of my life with dementia!

There's still a part of me that a bit stunned I found enough songs to do a three-hour show about logs.  I was at the outset & remain a bit trepidatious about programming a three-hour show, & I also kinda wanted to fail.  But nope! I underestimated the log.  I will not do that again.

You can listen now & anytime to the show at the KBOO website & at the Self Help Radio website.  If you choose the latter, please pay attention to password information (hint: username SHR password selfhelp).  All the stuff that happens on the show is below.

This one is for Catherine E. Coulson, whose voice you hear throughout the show.
