Happy New Year, friends! Remember: That which does not kill us wins reelection and tries again. Be vigilant and keep a good humor about your every day and spread laughter and good will. It’s the best inoculation against autocracy and idiocy.

Hi writers! And readers! Please take a sec to share your opinion in a poll I have running on Substack: Is it better to not write anything when the inspiration is not there, or instead, better to post a placeholder to say, "door's open and I'll be right back"? open.substack.com/pub/docblase...

This is a photo from a sweet and funny book called The Silent Miaow by Paul Gallico with photos by Suzanne Szasz. It’s a cute manual that teaches stray cats how to train humans and get them to let you move in and take over. 1964.

Joyce is so talented, she can turn a post about "how I'm not writing tonight" into an interesting read. Also: that Substack has added a "share" portal into Blue Sky is a great development. It kind of feels like our small town has just got a Total Wine store! Finals open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
