Except that what’s returning appears to be worse. 😕

Retirement has given me more time to return to reading I’m happy to say, but I’m reading mostly current authors so far. (Updike is as close as I’ve come to reading “a classic”.) But I did read Demon Copperhead not long ago, which is Dickens-derived. 😊

Back atcha! Happy New Year, Charles!

Seems I’m getting a jump on it. We’re skipping town on Inauguration Day. 🤕
