The Lost Years
For reasons explored in an earlier post, the Puckaway Logs have fallen almost completely silent over these last several years. I don’t want to re-hash the hows and whys of it; I just want to get back to posting. But, damn, it’s been hard. I’ve tried a few normal log posts but they just make the log gap feel that much larger to me. It’s hard to move past that and act like everything’s back in order.
Really, a recap is badly needed. We’ve got to get things up to speed so that I don’t have to dive into tangents on undocumented new developments every time they come up in a post. End-of-the-year summaries are fairly familiar around here, so that seems like the best way forward. Here’s everything that I should have been documenting since posting trailed off.
2019: Think of something to sum it up
PW19, which will still be it’s own post and needs to go up before this, damnit.
