Read part of that the other day, finished just now.

I think I've read about Lituya Bay before.

Thanks for posting that.

You should get that looked at before it develops into something chronic, Clodfobble.

So what did I miss (apart from all of you fine humans)?

Clod can't help it; 'cause, we're under conditional mitigation. Shame the timing of your return brings you back to find us this way.

Since you last posted in May of 2015? Whew, ah, let's see... well from a purely selfish standpoint, I:

--Won the Cellar Fantasty Football League for the first time since its inception 10 years ago
--Got an agent and sold my book
--Did some NPR interviews and tried not to sound like an idiot
--Let my adult stepdaughter move in with us while she overcomes 18 years of emotional abuse and learns some major life skills on the fly
--100% taught said stepdaughter to drive
--Became inordinately interested in self-driving cars
--Maybe sold a second book, my editor still has another 5 days to respondbeforethedeadlineandIcan'tbreathe*cough*
--Took the kids to DisneyWorld for the first time
--Did some laundry

How about you, hp? What you been up to?

Hey man. You missed the maturation of the cellar as a whole.

We're like an old married couple now.

Sounds like you've been killing it, Clod! Way to exist.

Also from a selfish standpoint:

--I've mostly been writing. I won a Sydney award from the NYT and a Golden Giraffe from The Browser, those felt nice.
--I've learned how to narrate (largely by leveraging home-grown technology), so I've been reading my own podcast episodes. I've also been making the music for them, which is fun.
--I've been approached about hosting history-oriented television shows, but I'm not as good in front of the camera as our belumbered lumberjim.
--I've been approached by Hollywood producers who want to make movies from my articles, but I declined to let them own my soul, so they seem to be just side-stepping me.
--I got to attend a test of NASA's SLS system with a bunch of astronauts and NASA execs. That was neato torpedo.

That's all I can think of right now. I watched "Life Itself" today, the documentary about Roger Ebert, and it was great, but hard to watch, and it put me in a bit of a funk. I've long been fond of Ebert, and I was flattered when he linked to my works on a couple of occasions, so I was extra sad when he passed. So that's given my day an odd shape.

I keep thinking I need to start hanging out here again, but the up-catching is a daunting task.

Why do you embarrass us every time we have people over?

Are your podcast episodes just read-aloud versions of your damn interesting articles, or are you hosting discussions with guests about your pieces?
