It’s been a busy month but somehow, someway I’ve managed to do some of what I planned to do. I’ve still got another phase post to create. I need to write my 2024 book reading recap. The February issue of the Skate Book Club newsletter needs to happen. And, last and most important, Tails Of… #5 needs to get done. What exactly did I get done this month? I can’t remember right now.
