We're BACK (or one of us is)- Get News on Spotify

It's been a busy August/September - the Murphy family vacation, my wedding and then James Murphy 's course at The University of Chicago Booth School of Business has taken it's toll on this newsletter.

BUT, I did finally setup our Spotify, after many requests:
