Hello,
After toying with the idea of having office hours during my radio show, 
I've accepted that I'm just not cut out for that degree of multi-tasking. 
I'll instead be holding office hours on Wednesday from 3-5pm. 
Additionally, I will be out of town next week, from the 10th until the 
17th, so no office hours then.  I'll try to answer emails if you have 
them.
David
