Star Time #56: Be Thankful for What You Got
Welcome to a new era of Star Time. For those of you who were out fishing last week, market conditions forced Star Time out of its original home in Seattle. But we didn't miss a beat, figuratively or literally. This is our first episode to be produced in the new digs about 55 miles south in the Olympia Metropolitan Area. Specifically, Tumwater. But since "Olympia" has slightly more cachet with stockholders, we'll be referring to our new home base as "Olympia-Actually-Tumwater" on the show. Kind of like "Stratford-upon-Avon," minus the tourism.
