Hi,

No reason you’d be reading this part of virtual hudson valley anymore, given the stretch of time with no content, but I thought I would at least post that we closed down comments because, well, we’re tired of deleting all the spam.At any rate, enjoy Ilana’s blog, which continues. Dean is almost done with his book, so the podcast may be revived next (this) year.

Happy new year to everyone,

Dean (and Alex and the rest of VHV)

Long time no see

No news yet as to when we will relaunch the podcast, but we are coming into tourism season up here. Leslie is busy in her gardens, both of them a mere 8-hours drive one from the other. Alex and I are buried under our work (which explains much of the continued podcast hiatus), and Ilana, of course, keeps trucking away on her to-do list on a regular basis over there on the events page. Make sure to visit often, and you will never find yourself bored and sitting at home, in the dark, by yourself. That’s no way to be except by choice.

Cari is also keeping busy, and that’s what this post is about. Those of you who saw the front page of the VHV website already know that Cari has a movie star shacking up on her farm, and he’s quite a stud from what I hear.

If you would like to see the brute perform, you should check out her website, cariswanson.com. Here are the sordid details:

RJ the star trick horse of the Disney classic film “Hidalgo” (2004) moves to the Hudson Valley for the summer to promote Horse Rescue, Rehabilitation and Retirement Foundation.

Come meet RJ June 9 at Windrock Farm, Amenia, NY for further details call 845.868.7944.

This week is our 75th episode. It is our best ever, and with that we will take a little break for a couple of months to catch our collective breaths. We appreciate everyone who has listened, and we assure you we will return, likely not until the new year and not until Dean gets through a much bigger chunk of his book.

Podcast will be taking a short break

Dean Temple — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 00:06:31 +0000

Next week’s show (for October 19th) will be our 75th podcast. That’s a lot – and with very few breaks – and we figure it’s time for a breather. So with that in mind, we will be taking a short hiatus, possibly until Jan 2007, possibly less. A lot of it depends on how much progress Dean makes on his book and how quickly.

In that time we will think about the show and what we might want to do to make it even better. If you have suggestions we would love to hear them.

Ilana’s list of things to do in the Hudson Valley will continue, of course. You can always find it at virtualhudsonvalley.com. Leslie’s and Cari’s blogs will continue uninterrupted. Dean and Alex will continue to eat, so there may still be recipes. There may even be the occasional special episode. Subscribe to the RSS feed and you won’t miss a thing.

Enjoy the next two shows, and thank you for listening.
