The Power of the One - And Spies!

 I made it to the grocery today. It seemed like a good day, until about 3:30. An hour nap became over 2 hours. So many things not done. Sleeping seems to be taking over my time. I even overslept this morning.

"The Beer Bros" got another rejection:

We'd like to thank you, sincerely, for giving us the opportunity to read your work. Though it doesn't meet our needs at this time, we're so thankful for it; now more than ever, the arts feel as necessary as they are fragile, and it's up to each of us to keep them going.

Information regarding open submission reading periods will be posted on our website.

Wishing you safe and well, all our best,

The spies make their case - Engelsberg ideas

There are those who suggest that secret intelligence agencies need to operate in secret. That’s true, but they do not work in a vacuum. Now the genie is out of the bottle, it is hard to go back. Those who argue that the UK’s agencies should be ‘neither seen nor heard’ forget that the US agencies have gone much further in their public engagement yet remain the pre-eminent community with a global reach. More engagement does not undermine capability, nor should the agencies remain silent in warning of threats. As the use of intelligence before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine makes clear, the agencies are in an ideal position to impart their assessments. In any modern democracy, it is important that the agencies have their voice.


Enough to today.
