Today’s Not All News is Bad (NANIB) is different. It’s not a news story plucked from the headlines.
Instead, coming back from a hiatus, today’s news is completely personal. Two days before Thanksgiving, I took a very hard fall that required emergency surgery (cervical fusion), a week’s stay in the hospital, and in-home recovery ever since.
The good news is that recovery has exceeded my expectations, and I’m back.
Normal NANIBs resume tomorrow, but I couldn’t help but share my own story as the first one on my return.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Not All New is Bad will be on hiatus indefinitely. I hope to return in 2026.
