Thirty Years of Thrawn

Star Wars and the month of May have a deep connection. There’s May the Fourth, which, thanks to some wordplay and some mistranslation, has become the official day of Star Wars. There’s the fact that the six original Lucas films all were released in May. But they weren’t the only…

Running Commentary 11/1/2021

Hello, 364 days ago, 52 Mondays ago, on November 2nd, 2020, the first edition of A Running Commentary was posted. That makes this edition the newsletter’s first anniversary. I’m kind of surprised I’ve been able to keep it a weekly thing all this time. Sure, I took a few weeks…

Running Commentary 10/25/2021

Hello, I was talking with someone the other day about how there are too many owl mascots. Not just in sports, although there are a lot of owls emblazoned on college jerseys. Just, in general. There’s the America’s Best Opticians owl, the Xyzal antihistamine medication owl, and, going back a…

Running Commentary 10/18/2021

Hello, CraneFest 2021 was a big success. It coincided with an October heatwave, which meant that, unlike last time, I wasn’t freezing as dusk fell and the cranes congregated. Also seen: two bald eagles, several bluebirds, several flying ducks and geese, two yellow-rumped warblers, a cardinal, and a red-bellied woodpecker.

Running Commentary 10/11/2021

Hello, I’ve had a big week of birding. Last Tuesday I was finally able to arrange a trip to the property of the Muskegon wastewater treatment plant, which, while not exactly sounding like any sort of great destination, is one both for migrating ducks and for the people like myself…

Hello, It’s Fall! At least, it’s Fall in the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. If you’re from the other half of the world, just go back in the archives and find an RC from the beginning of spring. But, where most people live, it’s Fall. Each season has it’s…

Hello, I’m afraid this week’s RC is gonna be a little short. I’ve had a very busy week. Some of that busy-ness I’m hoping you all will be seeing the results of soon, but for now, you’ll at least have a bit of cake talk and a record-holding quail. Anyway… Eating… …

Running Commentary 9/13/2021

Hello, I have some thoughts about Kellogg’s Raisin Bran. Famously, they boast of “two scoops” of raisins in every box. But a “scoop” is not a standard unit of measurement. It could mean anything. Business Insider checked how much raisins are actually in a box. As of five years ago…
