   Long time.

   I got my shots this week and they nearly floored me. Last
   weekend I had a cracking headache; I lost a whole day to it.
   Those two incidents aside, my health has been pretty good
   actually. Yay.

   It's almost the end of the year. Deciding to do a blog post
   series during this family-busy period was a mistake. That
   said, some of the posts have been fun to write and they've
   had some engagement. No sales for Colocataires, but that's
   okay.

   #coworking continues to be a nice town-within-town where the
   chat moves slower. That said, #tildetown was really bumping
   on Tuesday this week, co-inciding with the new Mozilla CEO
   being named.

   I'm on the epilogue of Moby Dick. It's been good. It took
   almost exactly the whole year to read, how I planned. It's
   not the only thing that I read, but it dominated my fiction
   reading for the year, to be sure.
