A Note of Appreciation

Since March of 2020 when Covid started we've not taken a vacation; we've been taking long holiday weekends for 2 years to try to make up for that and take an occasional break to refresh and recharge. So, instead of my usual Daily Take today, I wanted to drop you a personal note of appreciation for subscribing, whether paid or free, to my daily missives. Also, on multiple occasions I've gotten notes from people asking about my writing habits or even if I've outsourced any of the writing here, so here's the inside scoop.Read more at HartmannReport.com. -Thom |
