Well, I did it. One whole week! It’s hardly enough to establish a habit though, so more work on this is still a requirement.

North Korea is dominating the headlines, and I’m preparing my own take on the issue. Things are changing faster than I can write, and most updates seem to be happening when I’m asleep. I just might have to do a summary when it’s all over!

We need distraction more than ever at the moment, so I’ll start with the Political Tweets today and get them over and done with.
