i haven't sent out a newsletter since january of this year, which feels like it happened a decade ago and also yesterday. i thought about resolving, in a new years-y way, to be more diligent about this newsletter in 2022, but i don’t really go in for resolutions anymore.
Just read this after letting it sit in my inbox (which is my to-do list) ((which means sometimes I get stuff done WAY after the fact)) (((I'm sorry))) and it was worth the wait. You have such a way with words, and until I can buy you a beer to thank you in person for all the joy you've brought to my little world, I'll just keep buying your books and recommending them.
"resolutions aren’t about the future, at all—they’re about the past." I loved this! Totally agree. I might even extend it to say they're so often about changing the future to fix the past. I think you've pulled off the artfully scuffed-up character moment-- congrats on all you've done and on making it through the year.
I somehow missed the short story, so thanks for sharing it!

Happy new year! Love to share a bad beer.
So wonderful! And happy new year!
