I’ve missed posting for several days and I apologize. My allergies result in my face being swollen among other symptoms and I have difficulty concentrating enough to write intelligently.

I’m feeling a little better today and will see about posting tonight.

(I saw the news about the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and was delighted.)

You have no idea how much I appreciate you, my kind and intelligent readers.
