    Audacity has given me back exactly what I paid for it!

    Ack!  I had episode 6 completely recorded, edited, and mixed.  I had periodically saved my work.  And I was saving my final edit in preparation to upload to libsyn when Audacity decided it was hungry and munched not just the file I was working on but every single file that even had a similar name!!  Please bear with me.  I hope to have the episode up tonight but realistically, unless I can streamline the editing process down from 3 hours to 1.5 hours, it will most likely be up tomorrow.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.  Stupid Audacity!
