Lofty Pursuits

A lot of little stories here as I battle with a cold. A recap on France, a few stories about me, and my painting of the windows of Lofty Pursuits for Christmas ... oh and the Cold I brought back from Paris.

Greg picks up his podcast of last week. The last podcast was when the city was waking up, this one is when the city and Greg are going to sleep. 

Greg is in Paris, and recording from a park bench. This is a really rambling podcast made at 8:30am local time (2:30 am Tallahassee time.) Leaves are falling on him, the world is going by and he has not had his coffee yet, but he does talk about flavors and what he's done. Photos on the Lofty Pursuits twitter feed.

I talk about my upcoming trip to Paris and about the three Mona Lisa's, and I remember my friend Rich Pouncey, who made the grits for Lofty Pursuits. He passed away on the 11th of November.

I think this may be my longest podcast year. I don't stretch them, and so far they seemed to max out at 25 minutes. this one is 31 minutes. I talk about waking up early to get myself on Paris time for an upcoming trip, and I talk about the Candy Feast's response and how accident can somehow make unique designs you can't get intentionally.

Today Greg talks about flavor creations and what reaching 500K subscribers is like. He also talks more about the way Beard Street celebrates Halloween in Tallahassee.

Greg talks about some obscure puns in the video number 117 corn candy, not candy corn. He visits the Royal Hanneford Circus, he gripes about hiring employees a little and gives application tips for jobs, and then comes the Creature.

I go over a wet weekend where power took out my store and canceled a trip to GA to see a steam powered cane sugar crusher. I talk about making corn candy, not candy corn, and I review a book by Kim Stanley Robinson, Icehenge and I make a correction sent in by a listener.

This discussed video number 116 where I make pumpkin spice candy and I am disappointed there is no pumpkin in pumpkin spice. .

I also describe what it's like to be recognized by fans in other cities, sometimes enjoyable, sometimes not. 

I talk about Calculating Stars this years Hugo winner for best novel, and I compare it to books that inspired it, "A canticle for Libawitz" and "Seveneves".
