Saturday Updates

Good Saturday, reader(s) of Stroock's Books, you brave few. 

We got in a Judaism last night. First time in a while, actually. There are reasons. We'll make those reasons known at the appropriate time. 

We still haven't seen the riots we expected in Minnesota. We'll chalk it up to weather, commonsense, and the Party deciding riots don't help the revolution, for now. 

We've had an excellent week at the gym, with a our normal routine of stretching, calisthenics, pushups, tension bands, rope pulley and rower. We added an alternate day cardio routine. Why not?

NFL update: FB tells us we posted this four years ago: 'Re Giants: Burn Joe Judge at the stake. Defenestrate Dave Gettlemen. Send Tim Mara to the Gallows. Blow up the stadium. Leave no two stones together. Sow the field with salt. Biblical level destruction is the only solution.' And here we are. As noted yesterday, the Giants are probably waiting to see if a few other top coaches become available this weekend. 

The Things:

So, we decided we need to do more book hustling this year. Our first act was to post more on Substack about events, writing, and simple, ham-fisted links to our novels. We've been starting the mornings off this way, instead of blogging. Substack is our first step. So far, so what. Sales are down. Honestly, we don't know what else to do.*

We had an excellent week with World War 1990: Ireland or Whatever it's Called, Probably Ireland. We read through all but one chapter and the epilogue. We may or may not finish today. 

We conceived of and began writing the interlude chapter in World War 1990: Thatcher's War. This chapter is coming along just fine. TW is 40,000 words.
