Housekeeping notes

Apologies for the unplanned hiatus. I found it difficult to come up with quality fill-in material. The plan for March 21, if you are wondering about the "trivia question" from the last housekeeping post, was for the story to be about John Newton, the author of Amazing Grace. He kept an annual observance of his experiences on March 21, 1748, when he was returning to England after being sold into slavery by the crew of a British warship in Africa.
