I'm running out of superlatives for my shows. Each one is like a little island of sanity for me these days. So if I go with that metaphor, this island was like the one from Lost — full of intrigue and suspense.

Okay, maybe more like Gilligan's Island. But the whole lost on a desert island thing still applies.

And as usual, we went to places we never intended with some awesome insights. But one thing I swear I've finally learned: Never throw the first question up without directing it to somebody. You'd think after all the times I've done that and have been met by silence, I would realize that it just doesn't work.

And speaking of Twitter...okay, I didn't speak of Twitter. But if I had, I would ask you to add me to your Twitter profile. I'm TheBeanCast. As always, thanks for listening and please add a positive review to iTunes if you like the show.
