Thank you, Larry. Here's section 13:

The 10-minute reading of a table is, unfortunately, too short to contribute to Tricia's insomnia collection.

We don't have a DPL, but I'll try to get to this soon.
I may need some help getting to sleep tonight . . . .

Apologies, in the middle I had to apply somewhat over-zealous noise reduction, as I didn't realize
how loud the wind storm in the background was. Happy to re-do if you can identify the section :0).

Yeah, sometimes I get some birds or frogs, and definitely some wind. I'll take a listen, unless we get a volunteer DPL....
Thanks!

Oh, thank you so much, Adrian!
I'll have Jo put you in, and I'll be glad to PL yours, of course.

Thank you!
I've assigned this section to you.

After the main article, just pause and say "Note:" and read that short blurb about Dr. Zintgraff. I know it is a little weird, but we try to be inclusive.

Hello RMitchell,

Firstly, welcome to Librivox. I look forward to hearing more of you. You have a great reading voice.

But... at 0-7s, I'm afraid the introduction doesn't follow the template set out in the initial post.
You need to follow the wording exactly, except for any optional sections indicated as such.

Please re-record the intro. And while you are at it, the volume is a touch too
high (92.6dB compared to 92dB max), so please turn it down a few dB (Effects/Amplify in Audacity).

Regards,
Adrian
