Dear Friends, Family, and Viewers,

It seems strange to me to even want to write, much less, post this missive. It has been too long and so very much has happened since I my last foray into journalism. lol

Some of my friends and I turn 80 years old this calendar year. some were unfortunately not able to join us in 2023. I pray that they were able to get where they inted to be by now. We commiserate with one another about this fact. I look in the mirror and wonder how the years have so quickly flown. But here I am. Still upright and with hopes  for a better, brighter future for myself and and the world.
