The first half of 2026 is done. I was planning to write a recap over what has been happening since December, when I posted my last newsletter. Today I decided to change that plan.
I’ve been posting newsletters regularly since my first one in March 2020. Back then, they were monthly: lately they’ve become biannual. Back then, they gave me something to do in lockdown and they gave me a way to track the pandemic. Lately they have turned to the Trump administration, since like COVID-19, it has a big impact on the world.
Unlike the pandemic, however, I don’t feel like tracking tracking or writing about Trump and his administration any more. Perhaps I will at year end, after the midterms, when hopefully elections do to Trump what vaccines did for COVID-19. Perhaps things will feel different then and I will feel different and want to write about what he has done to America and the world. Until then, I think I’ll focus on other things on this blog.
I’m glad I posted about the pandemic. I’m glad I stuck with posting my newsletter here on this blog and not on a separate Substack newsletter. I find it interesting to go over back over them from time to time to see how things have changed. For anyone interested, you can find them all here.
It’s good to persist in an activity. It’s good to know when to change direction too.

That’s the great thing about a blog, its wholly yours. You can do what you want, pivot when you want. Especially if you’re not trying to monetize it. 😉
Very true!!
