My interview starts at 26 minutes in and goes till the end of the hour.
This is the second time I've been on with Samantha and she does have a good time. I thank her very much for editing the audio so that I don't sound like a complete idiot.
The weatherization barnraising wagon keeps on rolling. There is one in Somerville, MA on Saturday and another in Cambridge, MA on Sunday. I'd still like to see a weatherization barnraising on the White House with the participation of "This Old House," "Extreme Home Makeover," Home and Garden Channel, DIY Channel.... I think the end of September would work for me.
