Hi Dennett! Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, I was MIA and I really did feel I had to explain. I did not want anyone to think I lost interest in reading their work. OR… that I stopped writing myself!

I once had Shingles. It was awful and I can imagine it took you time to recuperate.

I’m doing okay. A few more tests… a final diagnosis… then on my way to getting well! I’ll accept those healing thoughts your sending from sunny Florida… because it’s freezing here! Sending virtual hugs… 💜
