The Owner's Box After Dark, Ep. 50.

It's the first anniversary for the After Dark series of video podcasts, and I celebrated it by producing a retro-look episode. 

The Owner's Box After Dark was born on July 13, 2020, when I cranked up my laptop computer while vacationing in North Falmouth, Mass., and set 16 minutes of random thoughts to video. Eight episodes later, I returned home to my studio, bought expensive editing software and started creating the After Dark episodes that quickly evolved into the format you normally see today.

In this 50th episode, I recap some of what appeared in Episode 1 and then offer a brief history of the advances made in the format over the next few months. Then I revive the "Counting Cars" segment that was a familiar part of the first eight episodes, offer some opinions about the changes I've seen in the vacationers that arrive on Cape Cod at the same time I do, and finally, I ask all of my loyal viewers to take care of themselves and be vigilant amid reports that the Delta variant of COVID-19 is starting to carve out a foothold in the United States.

It looks a little rough because I didn't have all of my video editing options available to me, but that was kind of the intent, anyway. Enjoy.
