so, the next period is from jan 10th to june 19th, when the music 
blog reappears, and it's about 500 pages, mostly from the primary phase 
of the election.
i found the primaries more interesting
 than the general; i didn't tune out entirely after bernie lost, but i 
never really saw trump as substantively different than clinton, or 
clinton as worth supporting for any other reason than to beat trump, so i
 more or less gave up on the election having an acceptable outcome when 
the candidates were announced.
i suspect a lot of americans had that feeling, too - and it's probably why trump won.
we'll see in the end if i want to carry through with this or not, but i should at least get a skeleton up.
remember that the main focus is the master list for the aleph discs.
