Great job Steve. I think that its very important to understand the circle of life. They say that if one lives long enough, his/her child becomes his/her parent. That is apparently what is happening with Mr. Boyle, so it really shouldn't come as a surprise that the microphone was working as we now have a 4 or 5 year old to do the work.
And clearly, Mr. Barrett is part way there with his new car. Personally, I prefer Jim's late teenage years stage.
