Through two months of 2020, I had made 61 posts on hoagie central.
That was the most in Jan + Feb since 2007, second place all-time. Many of them were long as hell too. At that point the over/under for 2020 blog posts would have been set around 200-210. I was on pace for the most blogging since moving to KC.
It would have taken something like a global panic to slow me down.

Sports are coming back. I've still got 2020 blog goals. And I weirdly miss writing just for me. And writing for Mark.
Medium has been kind of a roller coaster. On the one hand, it was perfect for all the stuff I've already written, but I'm running out of those. Also, I was able to use the tips to grow my followers count rapidly, but it didn't turn into views/dollars. It also renewed my interest in that kind of writing, and I wrote some fun new pieces.
Once I finish posting my backlog, I'll continue to post some new things from time to time there. But it will be more sporadic.

I'm continuing to ignore baseball but excited about the NBA and NHL in the bubble.
Based on how the MLB non-bubble is going, I'm anticipating a rocky NFL season where players and in some cases entire teams get Covid. Which will lead to odd canceled games. They really should add more bye weeks to the season now, plan on a Super Bowl a month later, so they have time for make-up games.
But they could be doing a lot of things differently.

What a weird year.
