Heading Home

Well, after working out of state for over a year I’m finally heading home and back to Michigan.  For those who listen to the podcast on a regular basis, you already know that I have found a new job back in my home state.  It’s been a long haul, and I have to say doing the podcast and visiting with my friends on the forum each day helped me get through it without going completely crazy – hehe.  Anyway, I just want to thank everyone for the support this past year or so – you all have been great and have really supported me, the site, and the podcast.  I’m greatly looking forward to being back in my “Rico-Cave” and doing podcasts there, covering collectibles, upcoming Trek XII movie news and so on.  As they say, “There’s no place like home!”
