Good morning and happy Monday from New England! With Daylight Savings Kicking in, I think I'm more tired than ever so I don't think the time change necessarily helps. That doesn't help that I have to get up early today as I'm going with friends to a different place in New England at this very moment, probably.

I know I always get very deserved praise for writing this newsletter, and I really appreciate it getting "best contributions on CivMC"; sometimes it's hard for me to recognize the massive talent that I've been given with this even if this entire newsletter is a glorified reposting mechanism.
