We are returning to the age of empire. Keep your mind whole and focus on what you control. “Be indifferent to events beyond the will’s control.” - Epictetus “He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is lost.” - Proverbs 5:21-23

I read The Black Company series years ago when I was in college and decided to return to them recently with the announcement that Glen Cook would be adding new books to the series. Most people seem to hate this last one, Port of Shadows, but I thought it was a fun return and found it a quick and easy read with an interesting payoff/conclusion. Sprinkling in some gritty fantasy books lately has really improved my pace and volume of reading. I usually am reading something heavy or complex (at least to me) so having other books to balance that has been really helpful. Sometimes mixing it up and revisiting things you enjoyed from the past is exactly what is needed.

Every year we are fortunate enough to sell out of honey quickly, but I try to keep a few jars during the off-season in case someone calls or as gifts. It’s always good to keep a little extra for the new year. I’m hoping to make 2026 quieter - more about the actual world than the digital world that is screaming about things I can’t control. Here’s to the amazing little bees that create this honey. Im going to try and do the same myself and turn this year into more sats and more awesome life experiences
