A new month with new tasks. We don't do the April Fool's thing. This blog is too serious for jesting and bad jokes. Oh, and this blog's 10th anniversary is just seven days away.
Yesterday we had a summer like thunderstorm followed by a long bout of rain [When did you become a middle-aged man with a weird weather habit? -Ed]. Temperatures remain cool.
The knee feels 90% better.
On Substack, journalist Toni Airaksinen posts photos of Israeli young women murdered by Hamas on 10/7. Angelic visions all. Bomb Gaza. Won't some kind soul click on this link? A group of Israeli teenagers dancing and serenading an old Israeli woman. The odds are what, 90 percent (?) she's a Holocaust survivor. That clip is from Jerusalem Day, 2023. There's the young nation of optimism and nationalism. There's 'startup nation'. That nation died on 10/7 with all those Israelis murdered that day. Israel Radar disagrees with our doom and gloom and sees a powerful nation emerging from the war.

So every once in a while we write about our grognard. Yesterday we realized that we are almost certainly pronouncing grognard wrong [Ya think?-Ed]. It's pronounced 'groi-nerd' or something. [He also thinks 'segue' is spelled 'segway'-Ed].
DOGE Report: We edited several scenes in Thatcher's War and wrote two more. Those two scenes need plenty of work, but they're down.
We read two more War Night stories. We are pleased with what we've read. We are more pleased than we thought we'd be. The proofer finished proofing War Night and has dropped it in the mail to us. The proofer enjoyed the book thoroughly. As the proofer is a woman, we see this as a warning sign. Did we accidently write chick lit?
Also, the grognard finished grognarding War Night and sent his edits.
Oh, a friend pointed out that not one tank blows up in War Night. We finally wrote a novel with no exploding tanks.
*We're quoting our late grandfather, who said the same thing of Susan Sontag after she blamed America for 9/11.
