Something came up over the weekend and Paul had to be busy on Tuesday Evening.  I put a call out for guest co-hosts or people for a round table discussion, but everyone that replied was busy also.  So, we are taking a week off.  

We will be back next week and we hope to have Jenny Cauhorn as our in studio guest.

Enjoy your week and keep on ringing,

Dean
