THREE VHUS Encores? Uncle sez "You ain't seen muffin yet!"









If anyone cares: Birthday 61 has come and gone.
I've had better.   But I've also had worse.

I was fully kneaded and polished with hot stones and even hotter oil by a skilled massage technician who knew less than 20 words of English.

I filled some long-gaping holes in my ELP and Moody Blues libraries.

There were lapdances aplenty.    And much Newcastle Brown Ale.
I also met the best BBQ Cheesesteak sandwich I've ever tasted.

And dammit, I fell in love again.   Shit.   SHIT!   SHIT!   SHIT!!   SHIT!!!
  

----------------------------------- 

I've previously mentioned that I will be closing down the VHUS Pod-O-Matic page  at the end of the current cycle of repeats - unfortunately never to return.

And I now have a firm date for that event:  
November 11th, 2019

In order to make that schedule work, we'll be boosting the number of repeat episodes per bi-weekly-window.    (Bandwidth WILL be limited.)

Our final wad of VHUS Encores will consist of our 3 Halloween-ish episodes (20, 46 & 61) making their final bow on or near October 17th.

We knew this day was coming.   I wanted to bring this MoFo back - REALLY - but there's WAY TOO much real life in my equation right now.

Watch this space.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT!! Uncle Pokes One More Toe In The Grave...








So, where's VHUS v.61?    As you might recall, v.61 was our much-lauded 2016 Halloween special, and I felt it only appropriate to schedule it's final slot on POM closer to Halloween 2019 (which will also be close to the time we shut our POM page down for good and forever).

Personal note department:
Uncle turns 61 this week, and I'm not looking forward to it.   And it's not just about getting older.   This time last year, I was the happiest I had been in DECADES (that of course ended 2 weeks later).    THIS year: I'm painfully alone, ingesting HD anti-depressants, sliding back into casual alcoholism and VERY glad that I have no desire to own a firearm.    But all is not lost: Thank heaven for strip clubs!!
