Apologies if this is a duplicate post, but I don't think I saw it earlier today. Great interview w/Howard on Ed Gordon's today. He is way "over the top" in being able to stay on topic! Hopefully you are able to listen to it (I can't find a transcript, but if you can't I could try to post some of the best Q and A's)
