Got a distressing e-mail reply this morning from Mark, a friend in NY, though he did manage to portray a positive attitude!  (FYI Karen has had a LOT of injuries this past year.)

Thanks!  We are pretty well, or as Dr. Seuss put it, in pretty good shape for the shape we're in.

Physically, Karen is terrific, but she laments being retired without it being her choice, and her oldest friend was killed crossing a street last week.

As for me, I've had no change in friends or employment, but I had a little bike crash that left me with four broken ribs and atrial fibrillation; I'll find out more about the latter when I have a follow-up visit to the cardiologist on Monday.

But, otherwise, GREAT!
