Show #142-I’m Going Slightly Mad

Apparently I am sounding a little tired/depressed in this show; I really was/am ok but focusing was not on the top of my priority list. And, yes, I have found a weird echo that I will be killing sometime very soon.

I’m now taking ideas for show sections. If there is something you’d like to hear covered weekly, please e-mail me.

Tonight -a Day Camp “rant” from a listener, a couple of campout reviews, a visit from a District Executive, and a surprise for one Cubmaster that makes me very jealous.
