Today's morning update arriving a bit earlier than usual is the result of me
trying to adjust to having tomorrow's first post arrive even earlier. If I can
manage to pull off my ambitious plans, I'll be hitting the road early
tomorrow to attend the burial of my uncle who died over the winter. I did not
attend his funeral due to COVID-19 concerns, but the burial that was put off at
the time due to frozen ground is being held tomorrow. I'd be very happy if this
effort can develop into a trend towards getting these updates online earlier on
a regular basis. But I'm getting ahead of myself. For now, let's just see if I
can make it on time tomorrow.
