At Christmastime, 2006, we had an unwelcome visitor. I talked about it on the show at the time. Now, the photo has been published on the front page of the Life section in our local paper, The Austin American-Statesman. Here’s a slightly edited excerpt of the way I told the story on the show. at the time, I had a cold and hadn’t adjusted to my new mic, so it all might sound a little funny.

This show is about my dad’s recent stroke, and its impact on our family. It’s not a sad show, but it is an honest one. I hope to be back next week with more usual Shelly’s Podcast fare.
