the toa newsletter - december 2021

Excuse me for a moment while I have a laugh imagining the scene - various readers from around the globe seeing this title and suddenly realizing, contrary to recently reset expectations, that the TOA newsletter is in fact alive and well, fit to continue spamming inboxes around the globe, a pointless missive on all things deemed too irrelevant even for the low standards of relevance otherwise maintained on this space. Yes, nothing beats a good chuckle while thinking about your exasperation.

So is it true? Is the newsletter back? Hardly. It just happens that my message for today coincides nicely with the calendar, so I'm reusing an old pizza box for this delivery. Today's business is more straightforward than the predecessor that once dominated the first of the TOA month. I'm just here to note that we're hitting the brakes again for a few weeks, at least into the new year. I'm a little better prepared for this break than I was in the summer so there will be a few things here and there, but for the most part TOA will shift to a reduced schedule.

What does this mean for your weekend? Well, I wouldn't expect anything substantial for the next handful of Sundays. I also think anything more than one post midweek is unrealistic. I may take some time to resurface lost "classics" (like this barrel of nonsense) and there will be some leftovers from the recent posts. I may also make those minor tweaks to the website that I've been threatening to do for the past several years.

But is there anything else? I think the rest is worth discovering as we go.

Thanks for reading, and enjoy the break.
