I’m doing ok overall, my friend. It got more difficult before it got better, as expected, but the big surprise was just how *tedious* it was. I’m mostly back to normal (for 67…) and my long term prognosis is great. How’re you?

Here in Hawai’i the organizers are callng it “No Dictators” out of respect for Hawai’i’s illegally-overthrown monarchy, a gesture I’m pleased to support. I’m hoping to make it but I’m not sure my body is up for it. I’d not, next time!

I’ve been joking that it’s just a question of whether I end up a superhero or a supervillain. Whichever doesn’t require spandex is fine with me. I’m too old for spandex…

My pleasure! And thank *you* for this brilliant — this important — piece! I’ve shared it here, on Instagram, and on Facebook. To be honest, I didn’t notice your name on it until I did a google image search, but as soon as I had your name I added it. Aloha to you and yours! 🌈✊♥️♥️♥️

Oy! For the last decade or two I’ve also been saying that truth is stranger than fiction only because fiction knows when to stop.
