Quick Post-Olympic Update!

I am writing to tell you that I will write more soon.

I doubt anyone has been waiting with bated breath for the promised Sunday edition of this newsletter, in which I planned to share an Olympic debrief. Here it is, Tuesday afternoon, and that Sunday edition is still not written.

This is for three reasons:

1. My dog finally had enough of me constantly typing and demanded I actually spend quality time with her this weekend. I know some people think her blue eyes are really pretty, but actually they are terrifying. There’s a White Walker in there, and I better do what it wants if I want to survive the night. And what it wants is to spend prime writing hours going for leisurely two hour walks.

   

   Here she is standing on my closed laptop, ensuring I am not tempted to write.

2. For the last two weeks, I’ve been in a glorious and indulgent pattern of: work half day… watch figure skating… walk dog and collect thoughts… write for three hours… sleep… repeat. It is possible I have neglected everything else. That’s catching up to me now. I needed to take a few days to get my house back in order.

3. If I’m being completely honest, I’m still ruminating on what I want to say for my Olympic Grand Finale. Lots of swirling thoughts still percolating.

So, all of this is to say… I will be back NEXT Sunday for an Olympic wrap-up post!

BUT… I want to extend a thank you to those of you who opted in for paid subscriptions. As a token of my appreciation, I will return before the end of this week with the first ever Paid-Subscriber-Only Post! I plan to use the protection of the paywall to get a little gossipy, if that’s of interest to you.

If you’re curious, there’s still time to opt in for a paid subscription.

In the meantime, I wish you well in this challenging time as we come out of the Olympic cave, eyes blinking in the very bright light of the normal world.

What’s Next: Back later this week for a gossipy paywalled newsletter, back Sunday for a free Olympic wrap-up post.
