Okay, so we're going to get into the fighting today.

I will be giving some detail on the battles, but I don't want to give out too much detail.

Otherwise, we're going to be here in 2023 still discussing the war. Instead, I'm going to be here in 2023 still discussing the war.

Instead, I'm going to attempt to give you the flavor of the battle, the essence of it, and pick certain parts to highlight,

this episode will be a little bit longer than my target of 20 minutes. So let's go ahead and get started.

This week, our song of the week, is The Wayfaring Stranger.

I hope you enjoy it, and we'll see you on the other side.

traveling through this world of woe

In that fair land to which I go,

I'm going there to see my mother.
