The first monthly issue of this blog will be posted in about three weeks. Here’s what you can expect:

The monthly issues will be longer than the weekly issues. And they will look and feel more like a magazine than a newsletter. That’s because magazines are designed to be used differently than newsletters. A newsletter is meant to be read entirely, from beginning to end. A magazine is meant to be scanned and then read selectively.

As I said above, I will not be covering current events, per se, but I will be including links to things I’ve read and watched that I’m hoping will interest, inform, and entertain you. Each issue will also include one longish essay from yours truly – sometimes a “work-in-progress” chapter from one of the books I’m attempting to finish. Of the three unfinished books that I’ve made a priority, one is about my struggles to create charitable foundations that do less harm than good, another is an amateur’s guide to art collecting, and the third is a history of the development of Rancho Santana, the resort my partners and I have been developing on the west coast of Nicaragua for 26 years.

I’m feeling good about this change and excited about turning this blog into something you can read at your leisure and feel that the time you put into reading it is more than worth your while.
