Chit-Chat Check-In #143 • Transcript
Today we have a video, a Chit-Chat Check-In, and a song. Oh my!
The fantastic Starship Casual crew put together a video about one of the events we did for the release of Twilight Override, at the Adler Planetarium.
And I attempted a Kate Bush song. Kate Bush is out of my skill set, but I did my best. What a weird song. I think the name Heathcliff always kept me from really embracing it, because to me that was a cartoon cat, not a fixture of English literature.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy. This is probably the last time I’ll address you in the year 2025. I didn’t really wish everybody a Happy Hanukkah or Merry Christmas or anything, so belated wishes. Hope you had a great one, or great ones.
Carry on. OxO—Jeffy
