Dear Members of the Disquiet Junto,

And like that, the year is rolling. I hope this note finds you well, or best you can be. We’re 17 weeks from the 750th consecutive weekly Disquiet Junto project. I’m not entirely sure how that has happened.

Old-timers and newcomers alike: Thanks, as always, for your generosity with your time, creativity, and curiosity. If you have any questions or ideas for Junto projects, get in touch.

Best form San Francisco,

Marc Weidenbaum
