I haven't posted here for months for a variety of reasons.  So Vikki, you may have long ago thought me dead.  At my advanced age, that is a logical supposition.  But I am still standing, albeit a bit unsteadily, and my beloved lady is with me keeping me going, so if you by some chance happen to read this, the hotel manager has been alerted that you might call.  I pray for you daily.  You are loved.

And darling lady, if you are with out blessed Jesus, you have finally found permanent peace from this hellish war that we have endured for decades.

I still fight. I know no other way to live!
