Saturday Updates

Services last night. We have to admit that after a decade of being kinda-sorta religious we know our way around a Friday service. 

Today a sojourn across the Hudson River to Epstein's Kosher Deli in White Plains to have lunch with our father. We'll hit Ferncliff cemetery on the way out 

We got in 4 gym sessions in the last week, including a very subpar cardio jaunt yesterday. It's time to rethink our gym program. Maybe we'll go back to rope pulley, rowing machine, bike, elliptical followed by a day off followed by weight sessions? What about light weights, cardio, heavy weights on successive days? Upon this we shall dwell. 

Evidence continues to trickle in that the debate did not help Kamala. Remain vigilant. For next we have a few thoughts on where Dems will go next. We'll blog about the 2000 election as well. 

The Things.

We had a good week editing and touching up War Night. We have a rough of Voodoo Genie. The story needs to sit for a time and we need to rewatch vids about the CF-101 and the AIM-2 Genie rocket. But overall, this story is in good shape. 

Segway...We need to do a tech review of Razorback-1, the nuclear silo story. There's lots of comms to keep straight. We have an Air Force vet reading Razorback-1 right now. He wasn't in the missile wings, but he'll be able to make the story feel more Air Force.

We also have a rough of the Irish Taoiseach story. Writing the previous sentence it occurs to us that the story needs a name. Our man on the ground in Ireland read the story and made a few suggestions. The Irish wear jumpers, not sweaters. And few Irish homes have basements. 'The ground is too wet for that, don't you know?' Also there were two TV channels in Ireland in 1975. Our man on the ground in Ireland also says his heart sank when he read that a green sedan was picking of Taoiseach Cosgrave. 'Oh lord, here it comes. Green and Guinness and fighting brothers and redheaded Irish lasses, and plastic paddies...' But none of that happened.  

And we've got a few good ideas which we'll share tomorrow.

War Night is 47,000 words and primed to hit 60,000, fast.
