So, you have to blame this epilogue thing on Mike Deering. The truth is this. My son, Adam and Shoe Addicts partner Mike Deering have long recognized that, if one placed a microphone in my hand, day or night, I could speak, with no prompting, for hours.
Such is the beginnings of the Epilogue.

In the Epilogue, Mike and Adam were limiting me to five minutes, well, you know, it can get a little tough to keep me speaking only for five minutes.
I beg for your indulgence. I hope that this bit of levity helps take the bite out of your social distancing.
