Hi Bill - happy 2024. I hope you and Mirja are both doing well.
I must say that I have really missed your posts. In fact I was going to reach out to you to see what was up, and was delighted to get your email today about this latest post.
I have to disagree with your assessment that you are not adding to the conversation about global affairs and that there are many other outlets on Substack for this.
I don’t personally know other writers here to follow and were we not old friends I probably would not have subscribed to CS&W. That said, over the past year I have learned so much and been alerted to so many things that I would have been ignorant about were they not shared by you.
So I hope you keep this going - perhaps not 3 times a week anymore but frequently - because your thoughts, comments and interests are things that I can relate to and have greatly enriched my world view.
