On Friday, we’ll be airing a very special episode of Sesame Street.

A hurricane has swept through Sesame Street and everyone is working together to clean up the neighborhood. When Big Bird checks on his home, he is heartbroken to find that the storm has destroyed his nest. Big Bird’s friends and neighbors gather to show their support and let him know they can fix his home, but it will take time. While everyone on Sesame Street spends the next few days cleaning up and making repairs, Big Bird still has moments where he is sad, angry, and confused. His friends help him cope with his emotions by talking about what happened, drawing pictures together, and giving him lots of hugs. They also comfort Big Bird by offering him temporary places he can eat, sleep, and play. Big Bird remembers all the good times he had at his nest and realizes that once it is rebuilt, there are more good times and memories to come. Finally the day has come where most of the repairs to Big Bird’s home are done and his nest is complete. As he is about to try it out, though, the city nest inspector says it not safe, yet, because the mud isn’t dry. Big Bird is sad that he has to wait another day, but Snuffy comes to the rescue and blows the nest dry and he passes the test! Big Bird thanks everyone for being his friend and helping to rebuild his nest and his home.

Please check your local listings to see what time the episode will air on PBS.

The moral of the story: This is why the Arts, public broadcasting and Education take precedence over upper-class tax cuts and private oil drilling.

It’s so frustrating to take the time out for scheduling talks and interviews - which I don’t mind doing, for real; I always appreciate having people be interested enough to want to talk with me or ask questions, etc - just to end up reading a finished piece that doesn’t make sense or is sloppy and looks like it was rushed and careless. 

Come on guys, writers and critics, please: take the time to write something well. Edit your work thoroughly if you don’t have an editor to do it for you. Always treat your work like a representation of you. Otherwise you’ll look like an amateur, like a kid writing for your middle school newsletter, and that’s exactly how seriously your work will be taken. 

Thanks, my name is Christopher French, and I approve this message. 

I SURVIVED THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!

Today was awesome. I ran this zombie-infested 5k race / obstacle course down in Temecula (middle of nowhere).

There were huge hills and brutal mud-zones and epic wooden blockades and electric fences to crawl under, and more mud and lots and lots of zombies trying to catch you and eat your brains.

Halloween is my most favorite.
