I am taking a break from politics, people, social media and news until December 23. I am both exhausted and have projects that need to get done. By the time I return, I hope that even if the world is no better, I will be better. Or at least will have a bunch of work done and perhaps have spent some enjoyable time writing, hiking, reading, and gaming.

If you have an emergency that doesn’t involve politics, let me know. I’m here for you.

Otherwise, please accept my good wishes for a good Thanksgiving and Hanukkah. May you experience peace and joy with your family and friends.

I’ll return in a bit over six weeks.

Be well, friends.
