Somewhere in the last week or so, Free Range Idiocy hit 1,000 downloads. For some of the bigger podcasters, that’d be cause for shouting at their tech department because something has obviously gone horribly awry for things to have sunk to such a low.

Since it’s been a little while since my last gratitude post, I thought this would be an opportune time to share some things that I am thankful for right now.
