Latest episode of Second Decade podcast is finished and in the can. It'll go up tomorrow. Good to have another one done.

@hummingrain Maybe they'll interpret it as a cake request...which will mean a unique challenge for a baker!

Wow. I closed a loop tonight with a #history professor I encountered 27 years ago, in 1992, and our paths just crossed again recently (in the last 2 months). I will tell the detailed story to anyone who is interested enough to email me at sean@seanmunger.com. This episode illustrates how amazing life is, and how seemingly random people you encounter can come back to be important even decades later.

Recorded the raw audio for my next podcast episode this afternoon. Feels good to have that in the bag.

@lafnlab I disagree mightily because I think your take illustrates precisely what's wrong with #NaNoWriMo. Word count is the only thing that matters. A novel doesn't come from someone's fingers, it comes out of their heart. A monkey pounding on a typewriter can win NaNo if it sits at the keyboard long enough. That seems totally the wrong approach to me.

It's that time of year again....the time I am taken out to the yard and shot for my heretical opinion that budding writers should NOT engage in the fulsome and empty social media ritual known as #NaNoWriMo. So go ahead, punish me for my unconscionable blasphemy, but do think about what it really means to write a novel (and what it doesn't mean).

One good thing about having houseguests coming soon, is it forces you to clean your bathroom.

I'm going live with American Revolution, Part 13 in about 5 minutes. Link here: https://youtu.be/XBZQIXJHuW8 If you miss it, no worries, it will be stored as a video on my page. Should be fun!

Going to be live-streaming my next American Revolution video on YouTube in the next half hour or so. I'll post a link in a few minutes.

Here is me yet again, running on fumes by the end of the business day on Friday. Almost too tired to cook dinner.

The rage at Greta Thunberg exposes starkly just how little that deniers and opponents of climate action have to offer. There's no counter-narrative other than "No!" and not even an attempt to interest people in any particular program or belief. It's just bankrupt of substance.

My job is increasingly coming down to three words: "fight climate change." If that is my job, I can truthfully say I love my job!

Today I took several concrete actions to fight climate change. The people I'm working with are making a difference. And I'm not talking about recycling bins or marching in protests, although those are important things to do. I feel so good about the work I've been doing lately. The people I'm encountering are working their asses off. Happy to be working with them.

Came across a knot of comments on my Facebook this morning from US and Euro libertarians complaining about Greta Thunberg. Not vicious attacks, but mild laments that she "doesn't understand how the world works." Methinks these folks don't understand how climate change works. They're in for a pretty rude awakening.
