Apparently my website was lost. Working diligently to recover as much of it as I can. My apologies.
Update. I was able to recover most of the text content from the beginning through February 2024.

I’d appreciate it if you were to resubscribe to my newsletter, but completely understand if you don’t want to.
In the meantime, you can peruse the archives below.
