Catching up, (Happy New Year, Mark!) and this is a great place to start doing it again. You've been creating a personalized Synopticon with these enjoyable posts.

My 2c, Mark, just 'cause me mama told me this many years ago, so in her memory: Did you know that the "S" in Harry Truman's name is actually not an initial, and therefore, needs no period following? His folks couldn't decide on a middle name, and just placed an "S" there. Regardless, the Prez, himself, would often put a period after the "S," so it's just one of those things! Here's one article, and I'm sure there are others to verify: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/harry-truman-middle-name/

Too bad the Synopticon wasn't a bigger success...lots of great topics to read and write about!

I'm looking forward to your Substack Letter Series; perhaps something to try in the future.
