A Note to Readers

You may have noticed that I have not been posting every day. I’m fighting psoriatic arthritis, which has affected my hands, which sometimes hurt bad enough that I can’t type. The good news is that I’ll be starting a new medicine for this and hope to back to normal soon. Thank you for understanding.
