Be Careful Where You Walk, And Don't Stare at the Stars: Transmission 270, 2016 April 6

It is a new month, with new energy and new freedom and new prospects. A certain Onion story is tempting me to link to it, but I still struggle with just how real I want this ongoing diary to be, in the end. At any rate, I do attach here a fine program featuring a fine record, even though the segues don't always live up to my expectations. That's okay. I AM LEARNING TO LOVE MYSELF.

I have an on-again / off-again semi-secret life as an amateur electrical engineer / hobbyist / noodler. There's a saying in those circles that within 10% of the desired value of anything is fine unless you're on the edge of a cliff. We've arrived at that point, with this episode, #270. "300" is the number of programs I would pretty much bet my life on having done at my old station; differences in program length notwithstanding that is the point at which it will start feeling as though this program, here, is the Real one. THERE IS NO NEED TO FEEL THIS WAY but I do nevertheless, and it is daunting. I am already comfortable saying this is the better one although it lacks the naivete and pure instinct that drove the old one. Still, it is my light and it produces happiness, I will not hide it, it will not always be my only light and it will not be a light of mine forever. But it is here, now, and I thank you for joining me on this ride.
