Yes, some wicked, twisted being reached down and robbed you of youth, yet he took not that which is most enduring. Your enthusiasm to drink in all the observations of life, to share the melancholic self-effacing quips that make the day shine for others. Fortunately you are still laden with that talent and we the readers revel in the benefits of such largesse.

It is not in our years, but in our attitudes that make us aged. Thank you for this I must nap. Oh, another book sold. K
