At The Appointed Time

Chapter 26 - "The Man Who Ran San Francisco".  The quality is poor on this because I couldn't find my good mic, and I was using my laptop microphone.  I am going to purchase a new one, and re-record this chapter and move forward.  Sorry for the calamity.BtD

Sooooo..... due to my extreme lag in doing anything with my podcast, I have taken tomorrow off (from both work and family) to record and post-prod all the remaining chapters.  This is the only way I think I can get back into the saddle, and finish the book via podcast completely.I won't be releasing them all in the same day, but will try and spread them out about 3-4 days at a time.Again, I don't think there are many listeners, but if there are any out that that are reading this, tomorrow is D-Day for me, so think good thoughts.BtD

Chapter 26 - The Man Who Ran San FranciscoI am posting the text before the audio because I have been traveling for business so much in the last few weeks I really don't have time to record anything.  I'm posting this from my hotel in NYC.  (So far from home)I know there's probably nobody out there that is staying tuned, but if there's at least 1 person... I hope you like the chapterBtD

I haven't forgotten that I'm 'back in the swing of things'.  We just ran into some technical difficulties with the logistics of a certain new character in the next chapter.  We need to go back thru and alter a little bit of his cultural venacular.  Shouldn't be too much longer. <br><br>  :( I had it all recorded to, I swear!  But I need to re-record due to altered dialogue.<br><br> Bradley

Chapter 25 - Finding Point BI'm leaving out the (Where?) hyperlink, because I don't think anybody ever knew what it was.  If you liked the feature, let me know.  I'll bring it back.BtD

Chapter 24 - The Green DragoonFor those of you who are still interested (if there are any) I am back and back to a point where I am working on the podcast again.  It has been a long time, and there's no denying that.  I can only say life got in the way.  I hope you can forgive me.Anybody who believes, please say a prayer for me.  I am struggling to find the free time to make more posts.You will see a few more PDFs uploaded, and then hopefully an MP3 of "Chapter 26 - The Man Who Ran San Francisco" next week or the following.  It's recorded, and just needs to be editedBrad the Dad

Chapter 23 - He is Right Here With Us

Chapter 22 - We Then That Are Strong

Here is the text for Chapter 21 - The Withdrawal.  Chapters past 20 are too big to include as text blogs, so we are releasing them as quickly as possible.  Our greatest apologies to the readers who have been unable to keep up with the story.  Hopefully this chapter is good enough to tide you over until I can get the next one up, which should be soon. And thanks for the reminder 'AAArron'!BtD

Chapter 25 - Finding Point B

The episode includes several small updates from Brad the Dad, as well as Chapter 24 - "The Green Dragoon". 

Yesterday at 3:15pm Pacific (GMT -7) baby James was born.  He has blue eyes, is 22 inches long, and weighs 10lbs 11oz!!!!!!!!  Mother is doing very well and is in a great mood.  He has a slight heart murmur, but the doctor says that there are no ill signs and the baby is very healthy.  Either way, since I try not to ask for anything from my listener, I would like to ask that you say a quick prayer, or if you are not religious, please just close your eyes for a few seconds and think good baby thoughts. Other than that he is the love of my life, and a glorious addition to our family.  The thing my wife and I value the most. Thank you all, Brad the Dad

THIS IS THE CORRECTED VERSION OF CHAPTER 23.  The previous one had issues, and has been dropped in the trash.  Please forgive the previous error.

Holy Shmoly!  Did I make newbie mistake!  I apologize to everyone for this bad mistake.  Just a heads up into the process that I go through with recording:  I record the initial reading of the chapter, which obviously includes a bazillion studders, stammers, and rereads.  I then go once over to take out said bazillion studders, stammers, and rereads.  Yea!  Then I go over the recording again to go over the timing of the speech.  Some of the words from this writer are hard to say (some I have not said before), and I have to say them v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.  Then, thanks to the wonderful world of open-source computer magic (audacity), my sling-blade style speech can be crafted into regular human-speak.  Then I pump it out to MP3 (which is get's saved as .WAV when I'm working with Audacity).  During the last mentioned step, is where something didn't jive.  I was lucky enough to have one of the listeners contact me and let me know -THANKS DARYL!-...and now I'm listening to a newly regenerated version that, so far has no hiccups.  I'm going to upload it as soon as possible.  Thank you, and sorry again for the screw-up.  I'm putting another step into my process here, and it's listen to the recording before I upload it.  Hey, what a concept!Brad the Dad
