Thanks for reading and commenting Marina! I enjoyed working through the topics and appreciate that readers gave me some slack. I learned a lot, made some friends, and think I'm a little better at writing. Not a bad set of outcomes. Hope you continue to find fun stuff to read on Substack.

As you move into 2024 and if you choose to continue to write, be sure to think about why you're writing and who your intended audience is. I think that might help you in what you write and it might be more satisfying as well, but then...what do I know :-) Happy New Year and see you next week!

Belated Merry Christmas, Mark! I’ve really enjoyed your newsletter and will miss it and your thoughtful voice and always stimulating ideas. I hope you’ll leave your site up for a while so I can catch up on past posts that I have missed. Thanks for all of it, best of luck in all you do and a very happy and fulfilling new year to you and yours!

Thanks Ruth. The posts will remain for a while.Will work through what to do based on whether anyone is actually looking -- if there is continued comments I will probably turn that feature off though on the old posts.

Merry Christmas to you, too. I will miss your posts! But I don't think I'll ever be level and even - I'm a life-long oddity! 😜 Onwards and upwards... I'll be keeping a eye out for that book! Best wishes and thank you for all the brain stirring. 🤯

Thank you Jeannine. Always kind. Always engaging. Always interesting. Being odd celebrates what makes us all special. Glad to make your acquaintance!
