Hey everybody Rick here.  I would first like to apologize for the lack of activity from the USG.  I have had a lot of personal stuff to sift through (some bad, some good, some REALLY bad, and some REALLY REALLY good) and the podcast has unfortunately fallen by the wayside as a result.  It is hardly what I would see as the idea for the show and I am working on trying to get things back on track and this is the first thing out the gate.  We have a couple of shows already in the can but I figure...
