A note to paid subscribers only:
I apologize, there will be no essay today because I am not yet recovered from the bug that I mentioned on Monday. I have confirmed it is neither COVID nor flu, but the symptoms are similar to both.
I hope to resume publishing by Monday, though the timing of my recovery is beyond my control. My energy comes and goes in waves, making it harder to focus consistently. Rather than push through, I believe that easiest solution may be for me to publish again when I feel strong enough to do so.
Thank you for your understanding.
Andrew
