A note about yesterday's post
When I finished yesterday’s piece at 3:30 am, Substack was down for maintenance and I could not post it. I am just about to send that post out— the post for September 11— now. So what you are about to get is from YESTERDAY. Today’s will go out at the usual time, in fifteen hours or so.
Sorry to have messed with our routine.
H.
You are a national treasure. You don’t need to apologize to us. Ever.
Truth hangs by a thread, and you're holding one end of that thread while we all tug on the other. Please just say, "I'm taking two days off, I'll be back," and then do it. We need you to be well more than we need the daily report we depend on. It will be all right. Just do it. This is your 79-year-old grandma talking.
