In podcast 175 with Jonathan Simon, my partner Kathee popped in while we were recording, and our new puppy Chloe Rose responded with a happy round of barking. In the original audio file that went out, you heard Jonathan and me pause the conversation for about 30 seconds and I said to Jon, “Don’t worry, I’ll edit this out.” But I forgot, until later that night when I smacked my (expansive) forehead in a Homer Simpson moment. The file has been fixed, but I can’t recall the original. So enjoy that moment of verite, and this photo of Chloe Rose!
