Quick Takes

Aug 20, 2018 14:52

My Rotary club is making a field trip tomorrow, so I'll be mostly out of pocket. Here's a couple of quick takes:

1) I did not attend Worldcon this year. This was for a variety of reasons, to include having taken a lot of trips last year and wanting to accumulate money for next year's trip. Then I became unemployed, so that was the final nail in the coffin. Having said that, it appears that Worldcon was controversy-free. I congratulate the winners.

2) Regarding point #1, I note that the big protest planned by a noted troll turned out to be underwhelming at best. It appears that, contrary to his prior statement, said troll blew of the event to go boating.

3) Here's a very interesting conversation with the magician Penn Jillette. In part of it he discusses one Donald Trump.

4) On the writing front, it was raining today, and I cranked out 3155 words before noon. Now up to 41,451 total words on the latest WIP.
