I’ll be honest with you guys, this whole no “nightcap” thing is weird. Every day I have to remind myself that I don’t do nightcaps anymore. I wonder if I have any other habits that I don’t think about. I’m sure I do, but I don’t what they are.
I’ve got a piece on the pre-Westphalian interpolity order I’m working on. It’s slow going, but it’s going.
