When this blog was under previous management one popular feature was the daily post of morning reads. We often receive feedback to bring it back. I have heard you.

But look, this is a bit of work, so do me a couple of favors in return, will ya? First, please do not complain when I inevitably miss a day, or a week. I have day job and this is a hobby. Second, please be sure to share Peach Pundit with your friends. There are still people who don’t know we came back, please help me fix that.
