My very dear readers,
first, let me wish you a very Happy New Year, a variant-free new year, a nonsense-free new year, and if the gods cooperate, an Anthony Fauci-free new year. If you've read RFK'S astonishing book, you'll know that there's no one more deserving of spending some (e)quality time in the Big House. Well, maybe Ghislaine Maxwell - but she's already doing time.
Second, let me thank you all for reading Verum et Gladium (Truth and Battle in Latin) We are indeed involved in an epic battle to preserve our freedom and our way of life. Millions don’t realize a war is raging, millions more do but ignore it, millions more happily give aid and succor to the enemy. These are the credentialed blue checks, intractable collectivists who, using tried-and-true Chinese Communist methods, keep trying to convince us that a deadly plague is abroad in the land and we must not be lax, as we over-tax and over-vax (apologies for the sub-par poetic license) A small band of us are aware of the battle. I am grateful and humbled that you read my contributions to the fray.
Thirdly, there’s been a flurry of new followers - thank you for subscribing. My paid subscribers are the most awesome people: they get very little extra content but their help is absolutely crucial. If you are a free subscriber and would consider the $7 monthly contribution - I will be immensely thankful. Every new paid subscriber in the month of January will get one of my CD’s - just email me your address and I’ll mail it to you. If you prefer just a download, I’ll email a zip file with my tunes. I am working on an EP compilation of 5 Louis Armstrong songs. If you’d like to get that one - let me know; should be ready by March this year.
This is the last year of my 60’s (I’ll be 69 on March 3) I had to quit doing music full time two years ago when the Gift of Wuhan swept the land. Since then, I’ve been writing but there remains a sadness at how abruptly and cruelly this thing sent me into unplanned retirement. I know I am just one of many millions who feel that way. Sharing all that with my readers is the BEST form of therapy - because no shrink truly understands. Speaking of shrinks, I have stories! Will impart in a future Stack or two.
I apologize for the recent pause in Stack-casting but I’ll be back and will continue to fight the only way I know how.
Thank you all again!
George Grosman
