Hello, no I haven't abandoned my Pageant of Evolution Video Series, but I'll tell you after the many many good to excellent talks and videos about the Ediacaran and Cambrian, getting into the Ordovician, Silurian it thins out. Too many sloppy homemade type videos, not enough serious lectures - and not enough time for me to thoroughly search. Though I finally found some good classroom videos that might work out, it's simply taking more time than I anticipated, or that I have on hand.
I am working on the column itself (deadline 20th) and considering how much I need to cram into a thousand words, it's going well, got a plan, had to change it a couple times, but always getting closer to what I'm wanting to get across and I do think I'll pull it off.
Then we have a local election issue happening, that's also eating up a lot of my time.
Trying to save two rural libraries, by taking over ownership before they get shut down.
