Cruising Altitude Departure 30, 2018 December 8

[GUEST POST]

This is your Captain, Halcyon, here, with what is probably a less startling appearance than the last one. I appear "in the hour of need," and it would seem that in December the need is more likely to arise than in many other months. This was a crisp morning in late Autumn, which if I recall has been a favorable condition for me in the past, but this particular day was a bit overcast for my taste. Alas. This program was conceived in summer sunshine and is probably best suited for that time, and this particular broadcast seems dreary and "rubs me the wrong way" to an extent. It seems to me barely there until Cindytalk reminds us that indeed we are here.

To each their own, though, and this may give you the same pleasure that some listeners experienced at the time. Laraaji was especially popular, as is proper. I remember having a zither in the Halcyon household when I was a child, and the thought fills me with warmth. Having to talk about a chowder cook-off breaks the mood, such as it is, but we do what we must. And we had a bit of a clunky landing with "Boundless Informant," but you may feel differently.

Since this program is of the "pop-up" variety, I am "popping down" for the time being, but I suspect you have not heard the last from me.
