As it happens, this is the 50th post. I hesitate to call it the formal/accurate “newsletter,” because there’s so little “news” in this slow-motion stream of consciousness, but hey, whatever it is, it’s the 50th. That’s if you don’t count the first couple of (now classic) posts such as, “Coming soon,” and, “Is this thing on?” And my favorite, “Testing something.” 

Some of my best work, honestly.

Coincidentally, the nice round number of this post heralds a slight change in direction for Rise Above (Today). It’s been a (solitary, introspective, reflective) wild ride since I went all-in back in August, but, as I’ve mentioned before, I don’t want this to be all about me. There’s only so much well to tap here, and at some point, one has to move beyond diagnosing and reflecting on the problems and, you know, actually doing something about them. 

“Hey - did you know there’s a hole in the boat?”

“Yeah - I’ve been meaning to blog about it.”
