Dear Reader,

Like the rest of The Sun’s staff, I’ve been working from home since March. That’s when the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and, with varying expressions of uncertainty, disbelief, and trepidation, we said goodbye to one another and headed out the door.

As I write this, more than seven months have gone by — months that have sometimes seemed like years. Nonetheless, I’m glad that we’ve been able to put out The Sun every month. Whether we’re in an office or miles apart, we know that deadlines are still deadlines, and the work is still the work: long hours, well spent, to make sure everything we’ve chosen for an issue belongs in that issue and arrives in your mailbox on time.
