Hello friends,
I’ve had a tiring few days, and I don’t have it in me to write something new. Fortunately, I have written a lot of old somethings, and I’m going to share one of those essays. I wrote it around this time last year when things were equally muggy and full of malaise. Many of you read it when it first ran, but many did not. Either way, I hope you all enjoy my ode to the Florida summer. The Weekend Potpourri, at least, is fresh as a daisy.
