Wow David, hard to believe it's been 4 years! I have always loved reading your work to keep my connections with Moldova after finishing my Peace Corps service in 2017. And because I know you personally and always felt a little bit of home at Smokehouse. But watching your writing and subject matter grow has become more meaningful as events in Eastern Europe change.

MM has helped my knowledge of a part of the world too many know nothing about continue to grow. I visited many of the places where current events in Eastern Europe are happening so I feel a tie others don't have. I also am proud and at the same time afraid for my friends and the citizens of Moldova. Keeping this connection feels more important every day. I feel a bit of comfort knowing you're there sharing a concise and knowledgeable accounting of what's happening. Keep up the good work. It has been a pleasure watching your work grow and continue to be more and more meaningful for so many.
