And, before I could do THAT, I had to remember everything I did on the day I bought the lamps.  I could remember what I wore, what I didn\u2019t wear, what I paid with, where I parked, where I couldn\u2019t take a cart\u2026 What I couldn\u2019t remember was where I stashed the damned receipt. At some point during this recording, I had to change microphones.  I think my trusted Audio-Technica AT3035 (discontinued) mic finally gave out.  I took a few moments to mourn the passing of an old friend, and quickly replaced it with another mic.  Listen, I love the old mic, but the show must go on.  Right? I tell a story about having to drive to Burbank to buy a telescope on the same day I had lunch with my old college friend the celebrity priest.  I hit a lot of traffic on the way to lunch, so the trip to a lot longer than I expected.  Or could stand.
