I apologize for missing my self-imposed deadline for Good Fortune episode 12. Fate has conspired to delay my recording. I wanted to let you all know that it should come out soon. The quickest way to receive updates concerning Good Fortune is through my twitter account @goodfortunecast, by the way. It's my preferred method of communication. If you're not a Twitter user, I have a Facebook page as well though it gets updates about as frequently as this blog. Perhaps I should work on that?
Back in Business
Did you notice my holiday break went a little long? After holiday travel, my family spent January preparing to move into a new home and February actually moving. It was hard to justify spending time on the blog and podcast when my wife and daughter were living out of boxes so my spare time has gone towards home improvement. That said, we're much more settled now and I'm ready to start 2016.
First, a new episode of Painted Porch is out today. Episode 15 continues the experimentation with a shorter format, as explained by Mark in 14. If you really miss my voice, give it a listen.
Good Fortune's first 2016 episode will come out March 4th and then I'm sticking to the the 1st/3rd Friday schedule as best I can.
There is now a Good Fortune Transcripts page. It's my hope that decoupling the transcript from the RSS feed will allow the feed to work properly. If your podcast reader still doesn't see Episode 11, let me know!
I'm glad to be back and looking forward to writing and speaking about Stoicism again.

Stoic Week 2015 Supplemental
I hope Stoic Week is proving useful to you. I know I've already found multiple reasons to be glad I'm participating once again.
This supplemental is meant to pair relevant Immoderate Stoic articles and Good Fortune episodes with the themes found in the Stoic Week 2015 Handbook. This year's handbook takes a new approach to the daily themes, one that I am quite enjoying. You'll see that I only list content if I believe it matches the Stoic Week presentations. That's left a few gaps that aren't covered.
If you're looking for a way to keep centered on or expand your perspective of Stoic Week themes, I hope this helps.
Wishing you an indifferent Stoic Week,
Matt
