One pernicious step after another, Bezos encroached on the Post editorial policy. Today he seized it fully. The old Washington Post is gone. I'll never write for it again as long as he's the owner.

Stroke Update Month Six: walking is consistently getting better. About a third of the time I walk without the cane. My gait looks like Frankenstein, but that should smooth out.
