I’ve appreciated when people take the time to write reviews and highlight connections to other good works. This post was written in one go at the end of 2017.

The Plan
Life: plans, Well-Sorted Version
Comments Off on The Plan
In January I planned to blog every two weeks.
This is my 26th post of 2015.
