2025
It is the last day of the year as I write this, and in open contradiction to my recent notice of a hiatus, which I stated would last until the new year, I feel compelled to write something about the imminent end of this decidedly unusual year. As I write, 2025 has about 9-1/2 hours remaining in my time zone, and I am definitely glad to see it go.

Go read this woman.
Her name is Jo Shaw and she runs a Substack site and YouTube channel both called Thought Couture. Like me, she refuses to fit neatly into one box. (She is large; she contains multitudes.)

Seriously, go follow her. Substack • YouTube
That is all.

I just don’t love where I do it.
