Sorry for the lateness of the hour. We’ve vacated to the palatial Bradenton estate for a few days. I’m on Anna Maria Island Time, mon. Cheel out.

The essence of this Substack is youse. Your thoughts and civility, the depth and breadth of your individual and collective intellects, are the soul engines that keep this place humming. It’s a rare day I don’t learn something from reading your comments.

So I thought. . .

Why not keep the good discussions going? There’s a difference between talking and listening. I think we do both pretty well here.

Instead of simply scattershooting topics day after week, why not extend the talk? This is supposed to be a virtual sports bar, yeah? When you’re bellied up and into your 3rd and 4th Keystone Light, you don’t simply drop the Reds chatter to take up tunes, do you?

You do not.

In that spirit — and because, frankly, I’m really busy unpacking and applying SPF-50 — let’s re-take a few topics from yesterday that still have legs today.
