When I had finished the week’s work, and was ready to turn to the weekly, I discovered that I was still preoccupied with other writing tasks, thanks mainly to the testimony Friday of Marie Yovanovitch, former US ambassador to Ukraine.

With my resistance down, Trump Derangement Syndrome got the better of me. I couldn’t shake it. I couldn’t find anything original to say that wouldn’t take longer to write than I had time to write it.

Back next week.
