MacDonald: A Few Unwanted But Necessary Changes

Under The Weather

Yes, my output has been stymied—from writing to sharing regularly to social media updates. I am wrestling with a barrage of cold symptoms I had somehow managed to avoid for over three months. Since November, someone in my house has had a cold or flu-like something. Fevers, coughs, sniffling, sneezing. It’s been relentless. They’d get … Read more

Quick Update On the Site Update

We ran into some issues with the initial launch of this iteration of The ‘Grok and had to do some tap dancing back and forth to fix them. I won’t bore you with details, but it wasn’t fun for me. We went live again at about 8:16 ET this evening. We seem to be stable … Read more
