I just wanted to say that I am delighted to find myself on your distribution list. RIP had your column on very often, but not everyday. Now that I am getting to know you, I very much look forward each day for what you have to say about current events. I am particularly intrigued by the way you paragraph. If that makes sense! But I am most pleased to see more of you!!

Victoria,
The way I “paragraph” is totally deliberate.
I have three basic principles: clarity, compression, and velocity.
I cut out most of the extra words and don’t normally use flowery language, though there is a place for that, too.
I try to pack as much useful information into as small a space as possible.
That way I am showing respect for my readers’ time and attention.
Pieces like the two on Buckley, are, of course, rather different, one might say. See what I did there?
But that is just having fun with words and expression. More people should do that.
Thanks for your comments. Jim
