Thank you for your support and encouragement, Open. Openhand is one of the few places where you'll hear you're doing great when you're sick and flat on your back. :)

Aspasia, thank you for reaching out to me outside the OH forum. I appreciate your kindness very much, indeed, since I wasn't feeling up to much engagement with the outer world. To quote Anne of Green Gables:

"Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think."
