Around this time last year I had toothache. I went to the dentist. They told me that there was nothing structurally wrong with my teeth and that I was probably grinding them in my sleep due to stress.
On May 11th 2021 my toothache disappeared.
That is a true story! If it’s not a good reason to end this infernal project then I don’t know what is.

A quinquennium of blogging.

Yup. It appears that I'm an annual blogger. I didn't even know that was a thing. Four years in a row, not bad.
I had a plan (the almighty pattern) for this post. I've been drafting it on and off in my head for the past few days. I knew the date was approaching, I knew I had to sit here once again, figure out something to say and remember how to do Markdown links.

It's been exactly a year since I last posted here. A far cry from the posting volume I managed during my attempt(s) at Project52. I can't even blame Twitter, I barely write there either.
I noticed a few weeks ago that this date was approaching, and I was hoping to find the time to put together something that represented the year I have had, but other things have got in the way. Read more
