Up a Paddle - Episode 25 - The Returnening
This week I give a brief explanation as to what happened last month and why I didn't record an episode.  Hopefully this hour long
extravaganza makes up for it.  The explanation covers the following topics:
- Business Trip to Laguna Beach
- Disneyland
- Essays and Tests and Assignments, Oh My!
And the following holidays:
- Bobtober (http://wqoq.com/index.php?s=bobtober)
- Kentmas (http://www.kentcer.com/nucleus/index.php?query=kentmas&amount=0&blogid=1)

I also discuss the recent surge in Up a Paddle downloads.  Thanks guys!

JFK assasinated by the hat conglomerate. 

Announcement
I'm bringing the Fedora back.  I'll endeavor to wear mine in public as much as possible.  Maybe get another one.
It's time people.  If you have Fedora, it's time to bring it out.  Tophats and bowlers are also acceptable.
I've posted this already on Kentcer.com, but I would like to officially announce it officially.

Review (Disney land)
I discuss my Disneyland experience.  I talk about the rides, the attractions, the foods and even the shopping.  My conclusion: It was a Glorious time.  Must go again.

Quick aside: Other non business things on the business trip
