It would have been reasonable to think that when Wolmania went bi-weekly the quality would improve. And I guess someday maybe it will. I'm reasonably confident that it won't get measurably worse, if only because I don't know how one would measure that. In any case, this week's issue does not start out very strong. But I think it gets better as it goes, at least for a bit, before it starts dropping off in quality. And at the end of the day, all I really aspire to is to have a high point somewhere in there.

Item 4: word of the week
Eleemosynary
I'm no saint, but I do my part to improve society. Most days I may be found at the local tavern, advising degenerates to spend their wages not on tipple but rather in support of eleemosynary causes.
* Thanks to reader Bret for this word of the week.
