Opening soon.

The notebook is being set up.

Field notes will start landing in the weeks ahead. The plan is short pieces — usually 500 to 1,500 words — about the kind of thing you'd want to argue about over coffee with a campaign manager or a parks commissioner.

Some will be tight analyses of recent races. Some will be reactions to data that surprised me. Some will be questions about how civic projects actually get built in the East Bay.

Not a newsletter exactly. Not a blog exactly. Closer to a working journal that happens to be public.

— What's planned

Pieces I'm thinking about writing first.

Hear when they land.
