I recently mentioned that I was working on restoring some old posts that had been mangled or partially lost. Well, I’ve just finished the process. In all, it looks like maybe two posts were lost, and those were posts I’d made private at some point, so I suppose I’m not too sad about having lost them.
It’s sobering seeing some of the things I wrote back when I started this blog in my later 20s, but, well, onward and upward. I am at least trying to post more thoughtful things now, and briefer things, too. My posting was really, really long-winded back in the day, I noticed. In any case, that’s one task off the list.

Restoring the long-winded early posts preserves a useful contrast with your shorter writing now. Since “those were posts I’d made private at some point”, the two losses seem less at odds with that record.
True on both counts, though I do miss the days of longer-winded blogging and abundant comment responses. I don’t feel like social media gave us much in exchange for shattering the blogosphere, to be honest, just shallower interactions. Ah well.
