Amateurism Arises When the Culture Around You Won't Let You Out of Where You Are: Transmission 254, 2015 December 23

Last June, when "The Dark Parade" ended, we moved our broadcast time from Tuesdays to Wednesdays. I have a thing about calendars, dates, and observances--part of me wanted not to appear on the same dates I broadcast last year ("that rules out a lot of dates," murmurs the chorus) but a hump night return was more important. So, anyway, here we are again with another Festivus observance. Last year's was so cheerful, in comparison, but this is a well-put-together program that I hope will give someone comfort at some point, maybe even right now.

It is good to see the back of this week. I am sick, both medically and at heart. It seems like everyone is dying. We're also being jobbed out of a proper winter, and my reverse seasonal affect isn't having it. I am grateful in these times for friends (update--"Reinhardt" and I made brief contact), friendly acquaintances (thanks to Leslie W for the copy of "1") and fleeting respites from my chronic, overstated anguish.
