Two audiobooks in the final release stages, a monthly newsletter out (before the month is over), and a functioning kitchen: January has been a back-to-normal month. (If you didn’t get to read the January newsletter that launched today, you are missing out!) Still, normal doesn’t mean boring: 2018 is new, the kitchen is new, and…
