About

A father writing things down, in case they are useful later.

From Wu is a set of letters from the house. One person thinking out loud about how to grow, decide, and live, written so the kids could read them at twenty-five and feel talked with, not lectured at.

Some letters are public essays. Many stay private, the kind of thing you write to understand it, not to share it. The public ones are here; the private ones live where they belong.

No newsletter machine, no tracking, no push to subscribe. If you want the new ones, the quiet way is RSS.

• The chart and the feeling
