For example: <a href="https://bringback.blog">Bring Back Blogging</a> and <a href="https://www.theverge.com/23513418/bring-back-personal-blogging">Bring Back Personal Blogging</a>. This isn't the first time this has happened. Heck, back in 2012 I helped organize event at Duke; we called it <a href="http://mistersugar.com/2012/10/21/it-happened-back-to-the-blog">Back to the Blog</a>.

I guess that means I should watch them play today, even though the other games look more interesting. Leeds and Tottenham Forest are fun to watch, and Wolves have talent but a bad record so far this season.

Back in October, I <a href="http://zuiker.com/finding-your-drums">wrote</a> about how Stomp inspired one of my Peace Corps activities in Vanuatu.

There's a photo <a href="https://smol.zuiker.com/2023/01/02/last-day-of.html">here</a> on Wan Smol Blog. I'm happy with those stacks of wood, which represent a lot of effort over the last couple of years to gather, saw, chop, and stack. Oliver asked me why I've gone to the trouble to make the racks. I explained that it's all in preparation for the new house and the fireplace on the screened patio.

A good day to clean out my clothes closet, refresh my blogs, read a book, drink coffee in the solitude.

Justin wrote a <a href="https://justinsomnia.org/2022/12/what-to-do-next/#comment-89007">detailed blog post</a> about why he did this, and what happened next.
