All The Fitting News
Verily, to some he might resemble a
throwback to another age, a human
fossil of sorts, not meant derogatorily
by any means but perhaps with an earned
admiration for he is unlike others, to his
great credit. Despite the sorrows and
miseries that fortune has delivered his
way throughout his life this is a man
of great stoic fortitude from whom much
could be learned, if we but stopped long
enough to consider his value as a kind
and gentle man, a true gentleman of
whose type there is a scarcity in this world.
Had he been of the earlier era of which
his persona is a reminder, he might
have been a town crier, and every town
required its source of community news.
This earnest man of good disposition
as the chronicler of his times, as the
indisputable genius of the daily diary
Samuel Pepys would have it, scours
news sources avidly making it his bound
duty to apprise one and all of the latest
and most vital communiques worthy of
circulation at home and abroad, and he
modest though he is, became the pride of
the community, did they but know of his
undoubted existence, as I certainly do.
