Hey Lex, as I'm getting started on this episode, I would just like to say that I really value the content you put out on the 'net.  The work you do here, connecting people to ideas via conversations that take longer than five minutes - connecting people to the people who have those ideas - is important.  You're helping to make the world a better place.  Thank you for that.  That said, you do what you need to do to take care of yourself.  If that means you need a break or something longer while the world is particularly rough, that's more than okay.
