What’s this?
Surely you know by now.
A Timeline in a Day? You never finished the other one of those you started.
I’ll finish it someday.
Keep telling yourself that.
I… all right, it was too ambitious. And I did finish Nok Steel.
Hope springs eternal. But don’t you have something else you should be working on?
Everyone needs a break sometimes, and besides, I thought I’d give Tom’s new format a try.
AH.com, where magazine journalism goes to die?
Cynic.
Someone needs to counterbalance you. What’s this all about, anyway – one of the lesser-known provinces of the Central African Republic? Or did you do the obvious thing and pick one of the better-known provinces?

Looking.
It’s the theme of the timeline. But it’s also something else.
