Housekeeping

 I started writing this series of posts about the 2020 election when there were still about 66 days to go before the great cataclysm. It quickly became a morning ritual. I wanted it to be a place to keep track of the ongoing horse race and it's attendant issues. It gave me the chance to exercise the salutary discipline of sentence-building almost each and every morning.

But "here's the deal," as our new president likes to say. While the election gave me something to write about (something I really felt compelled to write about), I never fancied myself a political blogger at heart. In truth, I just want to be building sentences, on whatever subject concerns me in that moment. To a very great extent, writing is thinking, and grammar helps a person think clearly. That's what I'm aiming at.

So going forward I'm going to be a little less focused on politics. I can't exactly be sure what I'm going to focus on instead, but there will likely be thoughts on faith and the vexed matter of the Church in America, on the Bible, on American history, books, and music. In other words, the usual aimless meandering!
