From the desk of Ray Cornwall:
Due to an illness in Glenn and Jenn Walker’s family, GAR! Podcast and Make Mine Magic Podcast are both taking a week or so off. We’ll be back as soon as we can.
In the meantime, I wanted to wish my good friends a happy 20th anniversary. And while I’m at it, I want to thank my wife for our recent 11th anniversary! Ah, marriage…
We’ll be back soon. Thanks for listening!
