Anything Else: I just want to say that the SGU podcast and all the related blogs have truly made my life richer. Another listener brought this up and it is so very, very true, that it is like having some very special friends over once a week to talk and you are the quiet one. I feel that way too. I welcome SGU into my home and into my heart every week. I am so very grateful to everyone that works to keep this podcast and these forums up and running. It is a refreshing break from the total bullshit I encounter here in Hollywood everyday. I can not thank you enough! Please everyone keep up the hard work. It is  truly appreciated.
